Home finances software
Afternoon folks,
I've decided I could do with keeping a closer eye on my finances, must be me getting older and more responsible or somethng  !
Anyway, I'm looking at Microsoft Money, but I was just wondering if there is anything else out there I should consider? I would like to keep
track of bank accounts, savings, investments (Shares etc) mortgage etc...
Cheers!
Andy
Dammit! Too many decisions....

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hmmm...
Wife 1.0 must be an improvement on "Long Term Girlfreind 2.0" as that seems to be doing a very good job of spending all my money!

Be careful of which version of Money you use. I run Money 2003 and it's been fine. The last version (2005?) apparently has time-limited
features in it, such as downloading transactions from banks.
There is more information on the Money newsgroup
microsoft.public.uk.money
FWIW, I've been using it for the last 3 years and it's been a brilliant tool for paying off debts, mortgage, etc. It's frightening
to see how much money is spent on trivial things. It is, however, only as good as the data you put into it, so you've got be strict with
yourself about recording everything.
