I am currently trying to be more organized with my money and want to start keeping track of my finances so I can see where my money really goes. I heard really good things about Mint, which although quite beautiful, seems to be suitable only for people who make all of their purchases with their debit cards. While I do have a bank account and credit card debt, I still mostly use cash and I even pay my rent in cash and would like something that can accommodate cash purchases as well as debit and credit card activity. I liked how Mint automatically shows your bank activity, and if it allowed my lock box of cash as some sort of "account" where I could enter just that information manually it would be perfect. I was looking at another program called Spending but every little thing has to be entered manually and it seems like it would be painstaking to set it up.
So what I'm asking are what systems to people use for their budgeting? Any apps out there that can accommodate those who earn a fluctuating cash income? Basically I want a way to see a pie chart of how my money is spent without having to painstakingly manually enter a ton of data.
Thanks!
