Looking for financial software

[Vegitto]

Hey guys!

I'm moving in a couple of days, and I just thought it might be handy to have some sort of digital checkbook. I have been using personal financial software for some time now, but I just thought of a really kick-ass function I'd like it to have (I'm willing to pay for the software).

Does any kind of personal finance program exist that lets you enter projected (planned) income and expenditure? Like, you know the gas bill arrives the 26th each month and is always $100, so you can make the software automatically deduct $100 at or after the 26th of that month from your balance.

Thanks ATOT! 🙂

My bank doesn't have that, I'm over in Europe and our banking system is quite retarded. But Quicken, that's the name of the software? 🙂

Will even look at your future projected income and debts and give you estimates.

IIRC, Microsoft Money has been discontinued.

(I just bought Quicken Deluxe at Costco for $19.99)

Quicken is the best option out there. I've been using it for nearly a decade. It's not perfect, but there's nothing better.

Yes, support and the online features have been discontinued, but it can still count and keep track of your bills and such.

I'm still using v. 2006

The Quicken Scam hits again...cancelling download support for pre-2008 versions.

How about Mint.com? Quicken bought them but haven't destroyed it yet...its free iirc.

I'll second this. Mint will do everything you requested, and it's super easy to use.

Microsoft Money can interact with Excel for graphing functions? 😀

MS Money can export .cvs files which Excel can import. Quicken has the same capability. Money has vastly better internal graphing support and report generation than Quicken, however as stated above, Money has been discontinued.

I don't really care about costumer support.. I'll get a copy with student discount. 🙂

Thanks everyone!
