Personal Finance Software

[UMCorona]

I'm looking for recommendations on software to keep track of personal finances with. It doesn't have to be incredibly sophisticated, but it should be able to track income, checking accounts, savings accounts, bills, estimated expenses, etc. It doesn't really need fancy graphing functions or the ability to pay bills or do my taxes. Basically I'm looking for a free/cheaper alternative to Money or Quicken.

There's obviously quite a few programs out there that serve this purpose, but if there are any particular ones that people have had good experiences with please let me know.

It has to run on XP.

This works really well for me to track accounts. It does the tracking portion of what Quicken does.

I had a little bit of trouble learning to use it at first, but now I use it easily.

Just set up separate accounts for what you want to track.

You mentioned "estimated expenses" but as far as I know this doesn't do that.

It's free, of course.

Here's one I read about through a link in the Free Software thread on AT, but haven't used:
MoneyManager

I do all that with Microsoft Money - an older version even (2000) I used to have Quicken - but Money is friendlier for me.

Ace Money lite is free, but I prefer to just use Excel.
