Simple finance software? - GoFuckYourself.com

Twig · 02-29-2008, 05:46 PM

Im looking for a real simple finance software. Nothing huge like Quicken or anything. I dont want to connect my bank account to it, I dont need compare my credit rates or any other bullshit.
I just need something where I can type in what I spent and on what. What I received and from who.
Someone has to know of something.

Quickbooks is still one of the easiest, even if overly-featured for what you want.

Thank you for that overly submitted opinion! Ill make sure to take that into consideration when I go through my check list of things I do and do not want.
#1, not Quicken.
#2... oh wait...

Take a look at Bookeeper 2008 or Microsoft Money.

I like MS Money, seriously why are you typing your transactions? Thats retarded, just give in and let the software handle it all for you!

I use Quickbooks Simple Start and highly recommend, it is now free and offers everything you need to record expenses and revenues and customers without all kinds of confusing other stuff that you don't need.

This one almost solved it for me, but I couldnt figure out how to say "Hey, I just gave this much money to this customer. End of story."

BookKeeper works great. Thanks to Nemesis.

Go to the right side of the main screen labled "Money Out", click either "Write Checks" if you paid customer by check or "Record Expenses" if paid by cash. Either way enter the amount paid and either select the payee and expense account or if new create a new payee or expense account. You can also enter expenses by clicking the bank account icon in the middle and selecting Register and entering the same data mentioned above at the bottom row.

excel is probably the easiest for what you want. Learn to use it and it will work just as good. People have written full blown apps practically in excel.

Yea, but it required too much to write a check for it. BookKeeper works great though.
Thank you everyone to who actually used common sense in this thread
