dear lazyweb: personal finance software?

Feb 27, 2010 01:37

Dear Lazyweb:

Quicken? Quicken Essentials? Mint? Moneydance? GnuCash? MS Money? Some other thing I haven’t heard of? Pimp your solutions at me, please: go!

In an ideal world, this would:

have an iPhone app interface, so I can quickly add in things like restaurant bills
do bill payment
interface with my various bank/retirement accounts
run on MacOS ( Read more... )

cetera', 'et

Mint. Loved it. Showed me I was overspending.

Hm. See below: I'm impressed with it so far, except for the giant gaping hole of functionality in the middle of its featureset.

Moved from msmoney and quicken to mint a year ago and couldn't be happier.

Use quicken, like it fine, but i don't online bank with it, since i don't like giving my ID/PW to 3rd party programs.

and yes i, have been, suffering from Shatner, disease.

(drinking lots of red wine too)

I use ledger, but it sounds like it wouldn't work well with your requirements.

ok, so I did massive amounts of research on this some time ago, and didn't actually come up with one I liked. I'm not fond of the pure web solutions, so if you're into that, one of those may be your best bet, I don't know. Quicken, while awesome on Windows, just isn't getting the amount of Mac attention it needs. I ended up with Moneydance, which is functional, but 'eh'.
