After doing lots of research and reading your husbands review, now my husband and I are purchasing the "You Need A Budget" (YNAB) and are super excited to start saving more and managing our finances better. Thanks for your help and maybe I'll come back and let you know how it's going in a few months! Happy New Year :-)

Thanks again. My wife (computer expert) warned me from giving out our bank account id and password to anyone. She heard that a former Mint.com employee was caught with customer id's and passwords that she downloaded from their servers. One customer had funds stolen from their account!
I appreciate your help so much though. I am still looking.

@jerry, You can always try Mint.com. It's completely free and it connects to your bank accounts as well.

@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home,
Thanks Stephanie,
Tried the YNAB trial and it does seem helpful but lots of manual entry plus the $60 plus does not seem worth it.
Any other economical software you can point me to?

@jerry, YNAB allows you to import your bank account activity, so it's really helpful that way!

Hi, Failed at manual spreadsheets. Does anyone have any current budgeting software that uses my bank account activity?
I hate budgeting but feel I am spending more than making.

I had never even heard of this software before. I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for the informative article. YNAB is great budgeting software. I've tried it and used it for a while. But what I actually needed was to replace my pen and paper monthly budget, and wanted my software to be really, really, really simple to use. I came across another software called Innoslice (and few others that also are simple ones), but I chose Innoslice for my use. Hope it would fit the needs for many people who want to switch from pen and paper to software.
