Budget software (software for budgets)

[msmama]

Does anyone have a suggestion for software to make a budget?

I have software (well Dh has software) that we use to keep track of everything, but I'm finding that it's not really good for keeping a budget.

What do you use?

Thanks!

YNAB (You need a budget) Awesome Awesome Awesome! Plus forums and free webinars to help you learn to use the software. I LOVE it! Recommended to me years ago by a fellow DISer.

Software is 60 bucks but you can do a 7 day trial first. No monthly fees or anything after that.

I use MS Money. I can't say it's the most straightforward product though - I got used to it for work, so I used it for our personal as well. You can track absolutely anything with it though.

I loved MS Money, but sadly, they have scrapped the product along with Small Business Accounting and it is no longer available.

I use Quicken Deluxe for keeping track of my accounts and an Excel spreadsheet for my monthly budgets.

Check into pear budget they have a free trial so you can try it out and then I think its $3 per month after that. I love it and I love that I can get to it anywhere rather than just when I am at home. www dot pear budget dot com. ( wasn't sure if I was supposed to put links here or not).

Any coupon codes for YNAB?

Another YNAB user here! I don't know of any referral or coupon codes though but I haven't been over to their site or forums lately. They have a companion iPhone app as well (unfortunately it's not free - that's another $5 or $10) that works with the desktop software.
