Money software?
Discussion
I'm trying to keep a closer eye on my spending and reckon a good way would be to record all my expenditure in a spreadsheet of sorts.
I wondered if there was a (free) software package out there (similar to MS Money, I guess) that would do this for me, or if I am best just starting a spreadsheet up in Excel?
Looking for any recommendations - I only have one bank account so I don't need a massive amount of features I guess.

good call on gnucash. I didn't know they have a windows version.Alex said:
Do you not have internet/online banking?
Yep, but it doesn't really help me attribute transactions to certain things. I want to try and concentrate on reducing monthly spending as much as I can, and if I know where my money is going out and what it is specifically for - rather than "just" another transaction - I think it may help.BigAlinEmbra said:
