Excel. I just have a simple formula set up that adds/subtracts the amount I put in on each row, depending on the column.

Not to much money managment going on at the moment, "rent" and gas, and pretty soon 1200 for a guitar and then another 700 for car tires + fix oil leak

One of my freinds made a really complete Excel sheet for balancing your budget, checking account, savings, debts and stocks. Works well, although I'm still picking it apart for errors etc. He's been using it for a while. If ya want I can email it to ya and you can try it out.

Where's the "I don't...I'm a moron with money" option?

 

[amdskip]

I just login into my banks website and check to see how much I have. I never balence my checkbook but I do write down when I write checks and how much they are so it's all good.

Everyone should watch Return of the Living Dead at least once in their life

It's simple. Spend less than you make. As much less as possible. Buy as few unnecessary consumable items as possible. Buy quality items that will last. If you don't know where your money goes, write down everything you spend money on in a month and then figure out what to eliminate.

Naw. The number of times you've watched it covers things for the rest of us.

No that's Evil Dead 1-3, I don't even own a copy of ROTLD 1-3. Yet.

Put everything on the credit card, then bitch when the bill comes - BUT PAY IT..that way you have a good record

 

[xXgambitXx]

seems to me that "BUYING" a piece of software to manage money defeats the purpose. hehe.

It isn't rocket science.

I use online banking and MS Money....I have always been pretty good with my finances.

But for stocks and stuff we just check our accounts online.
