My wife does a really good job keeping track of all of our assets and liabilities on some pretty complex Excel spreadsheets but it takes a lot of time.  We track  our larger expenses but there are a lot of expenses that escape the spreadsheet and preventing us the opportunity of analyzing our spending patterns more closely.  I think there has to be software available that would pull it all together a little more efficiently.  Many years ago we tracked our expenses with Quicken and I seem to remember it worked well but that CD is long gone as is the PC it was installed on.  Over the last few days I have been reviewing the free personal finance software that is available thinking I could find something free and open source at least as good as that old Quicken use to be.  I’ve installed and done a little playing with a few but nothing yet has clicked for me as the program to use.  I thought I would post a poll here and try to get a feel for what personal finance software is the favorite of most people.  Make sure you click “Vote” after making your selection.

Please take a minute and let me know in the comments or in the forum why your choice is your favorite  and why.  I am especially interested in hearing from some of those who are using one of the online programs.
