mint.com
I was looking online for a cheap (preferably free) alternative to MS money when I came across mint.com. My first impression was that the site was really clean and simple, very easy to use. I did some research just to make sure they were legit, since I was giving them some financial info after all. They have a really cool system for tracking transactions to show your spending history, as well as letting you setup some basic budgeting. Overall I think it is a great site, and fits the bill for me when it comes to a replacement for MS money. Best of all, its free!
Mint.com is not without its faults though. After adding all of my bank accounts, credit cards, and investment accounts, I noticed that several accounts either do not show up, or have a $0 balance. It appears that they are still working out some of the kinks, as the app is still pretty new. Once all of those things get worked out, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good personal budgeting and financial planning application. With that said, I would still recommend you wait until they get some of the problems resolved, as the problems are really holding it back right now. Still…give it a look, its pretty cool, really simple, and free.
