From the site:
Budget Tracker is an easy to use program that will help you track and understand your monthly expenses. Each month you can enter in a number of specific monthly expenses including Rent/Mortgage, Utilities, Grocery, Entertainment, Phone, Medical, Clothing, and more. Each of these is tracked per month, but also a running average is kept for each expense over time. So you can see just how much you spend on average for specific items. The program is very easy to use. All the averages and monthly totals are on the main screen so you can get a quick view of your personal finances. Other data that is tracked includes an overall monthly average expenditure as well as the highest month and the lowest month. In the end, Budget Tracker?s goal is to help you get a grip on where your money is going.
Have fun!!!

Re: Free Budget Tracker Software
don't put any personal info in either software...just budget numbers. I don't know either one, but it is THEORETICALLY possible that a programmer could put a "bug" in there to suck out personal info of users. Difficult to do and unlikely as all hell, but possible. Put in dollars and cents only is my vote...but USE THINGS LIKE THIS IF THEY HELP

Re: Free Budget Tracker Software
The link was nice but you can do more with an excel spreadsheet, honestly.
Re: Free Budget Tracker Software
I use MoneyDance for all of my budget needs.
You can enter the first 100 transactions for free before you have to pay $39.99. That way you get a good idea as to if you actually like it.
So much better than quicken! I would never use an online money management software. Seems so iffy.

I've used Quicken for 15 years now. I know where my $$ goes and what I need to earn to live.
I do a budget each year and can forecast with pretty good accuracy if a month will be short or OK and save for the short ones. The history is really helpful
Re: Free Budget Tracker Software
The version of Quicken for the Mac is very inferior to the PC version, as I found out when I switched OSs. I also don't like how w/ Quicken, the ability to do things (like integrated online banking) expires after a few years... like, you can't do it anymore w/ the 2005 version . Bleah!
Re: Free Budget Tracker Software
^^^ Yea, you have to upgrade. Quicken is my lifeline. I :heartbeat it. Its the best! I love how all my credit cards and bank account info is imported in so I always know exactly whats going on. The budget area is really helpful. It has places for savings, retirement, etc. It even has a "What If" area so you can check out different scenarios there.
