I’m not trying to be a buzzkill or anything. Your program looks very well-conceived. And if I didn’t have a daughter, I think it would be good to be more hands-on with a program. But for now, this likely entails more work than I can afford right now.

@Joel No problem, I understand. Once the transactions are up to date, I honestly don't spend more than 2 mins a day on it. Just update the 2-3 transactions that I may have. But if you would like an alternative, please feel free to ask, I would be glad to help out. .-= Craig´s last blog ..How Credit Cards Can be Used for Budgeting. =-.

@Joel You are correct it is either manual input or you can import your financial bank statements. A lot of our users enjoy this for a few reasons. Better security since there is no syncing with any personal accounts. It makes you be more proactive with budgeting since instead of waiting for purchases to clear, you have to actually keep track on a daily basis. Also, its an alternative for users who can't use tools that sync or live international. Again it all depends on the users preference, I would be glad to answer any of your questions. I could also offer some quality alternatives if you would like. Craig .-= Craig´s last blog ..How Credit Cards Can be Used for Budgeting. =-.

Joel,

You are right. It doesn’t allow for downloading. For me, it’s a deal breaker but Craig feels that for some people, this is real plus – added security. Tough sell.

YNAB aka You Need A Budget is excellent software, simple or complex as you make it and it has a fantasice “envelope” style of money management.
