I’ve been using http://www.moneyledgers.com for my personal and home based business bookkeeping stuff. It’s very good at automatically splitting my expenses between home and business at any ratio I setup. Much simpler than any other program I’ve tried..

I find http://calendarbudget.com to be the simplest and most powerful tool for my family needs. Its the only thing we use and helps us plan into the future very effectively.

I also use YNAB. I’ve used it over a year and I really like it.

I’ve been using Quicken since the 90s, upgrading only when it tells me that online services are about to expire.

I mainly use Mint and moneytrackin.com for my finance tracking. Both of them are web application and they are convenience for me.

1) Quicken to track my net worth.
2) Mint.com to track my spending habits.
3) Excel to plan my investment directions and to track other miscellany.

I find Quicken very aggravating and lacking in a couple of key areas (like how it tracks transfers between personal accounts). That’s why I prefer Mint.com for spending / budgeting. I’ve always been an Excel nerd, and I love having control over both the input and the output in Excel.

I use Yodlee and Google Docs.

I used to use Quicken, but like other commenters have said, I’d fall off the wagon of data-entering eventually. Yodlee automatically downloads everything for all of my accounts (and rewards programs, too), so I don’t need to do anything except categorize transactions and play with graphs.

I just simply keep a balanced checkbook and use my online banking accounts to keep track of bills, but unlike most people, I own two homes mortgage free, both of my cars are paid for and I only have two credit cards that I never use, so I have about 10 bill per month that are all on auto-pay. I do use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of my stock investments.

I use Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace software. It’s simple, but it works for me.
