I love this program although it has lots of features and tools which can get confusing but I use what I want and leave the rest alone... The only thing is...is that i am not sure how much longer it will be compatible with the evolving technologies and Microsoft is not updating their software last i heard I use Microsoft Money 2005.

Loved the site, the app, everything. Since Inuit bought it earlier this year, service has gone WAY downhill and there are problems everywhere. I came to this list to try to find an alternative program. Word to the wise- try out some alternative programs before putting all of your eggs in one place.

For all of you who use excel but would like a little more automation and analysis, I would recommend it. I found Quicken to be difficult to use and lacks simplicity. What do you guys think?

Tell someone they should budget an emergency fund of six months living expenses and they roll their eyes and give up before even starting. With YNAB you need to get one month's "buffer" for the program to work properly. Income you earn this month is what you will budget to spend next month. The challenge of creating that first month's buffer is an attainable goal for most people and it's great fun finding ways to cut expenses. After reaching this goal most people realise building an emergency fund or reaching another financial goal is not such a daunting task after all. The software is easy and fun to use and the web site has some great tips. Like this Squawkfox site and nice to see the author is a cyclist too. Just rode Italy coast to coast with the money I saved using YNAB! Nice to see YNAB (You Need A Budget) getting more mention.
