Right, I am at the time in my life (getting married in Feb.) where I need to start getting my finances sorted out. I am one of those people who has his fingers in many pies, but, to my shame, don't know my net position or which assets are working for me. Thankfully I have no personal loans or CC debt so want to start sorting things out.

So, are there any good software packages that will deal with all of property (rent vs. mortgage), pensions, shares, cash, ISA etc. etc. particularily anything which forces me to focus on the ROI (return on investment not republic of Ireland!)

Cheers,

Adrian

Not sure if it covers *all* of the areas you are asking about, but it certainly does everything I want plus more...

MS Money. Simple, effective and keeps my finger on the pulse for my current accounts, loan accounts, credit cards etc. I know it does stocks and shares also.

What about small business accounts packages that are very simple and aimed for dummies any recommendations?

Another shout for MS Money. A great tool for working out where your money really goes.



It doesn't seem to have a category for Aerofoils strippers though...
