Anyone have a good budgeting/ money planner app?

[NickNacks]

I would like something that I could enter all our income and outgoings into and 'drag' them onto catergories so at the end of the month I know how much we've spent on groceries for eg.

Thanks!

Anyone use one??

Check out moneysavingexpert.com there is a great budget planner on there

Or i've heard good things bout this one www.codelathe.com/mmex/index.php
but havent used it myself

Thank you I've got one :) fingers crossed it helps!

Hi NickNacks

Which one did you get and would you recommend it so far (well, in your 24hours of using it!!)?

I'm a massive fan of You Need A Budget. Not the cheapest offering on the market but backed up with a method that keeps you much more proactively managing your budget than just reconciling at month end.

I did a thread about personal finance software last year - it was specific to the Mac so might not be so much use to you. Many people - including me for many years - swear by Microsoft Money, which is still available as a 'sunset edition'.

Same as tribpot I haven't found an adequate replacement yet for Microsoft Money 'Deluxe Sunset Edition'... free download. Really good for forecasting cashflow which prevents all those 'whoops' expensive accidental overdrawns...

I used the moneysavingexpert one. Its good as it divides all costs to give you a monthly expenditure. Also it encourages you to put down stuff you might forget, such as holiday spending, presents, haircuts etc
