Using Your Computer To Track Your Money

If you want to keep track of your money using your
computer, there are several options out there for you.
Computer software such a Microsoft Money, Quicken,
and GnuCash can help you track your finances, do your
taxes, or plan for a big purchase such as a car or home.
Whether you just want to keep a simple household
budget, or run the accounting for a small business,
modern day financial software is the answer to a lot of
the tedious chores involved with finances and
accounting.
The two most popular suites of tools for Microsoft
Windows based computers are Microsoft Money and
Intuit Quicken. Both of these packages have their
plusses and minuses, but are both robust solutions that
will most of the most common financial tasks with ease.
If you are in the market for a new desktop or laptop
computer, you should factor in the inclusion of
financial software into the purchase price. The majority
of vendors will include one of these two products in the
purchase price of a new machine, so if you are
shopping for a new computer and have a preference between
these two applications, be sure to read the fine print
when you are shopping.
Macintosh and Linux users are not left out in the cold
when it comes to financial software as well. For the
Mac there are several to choose from, including Intuit’s
Quicken Mac and MoneyDance. Both of these
packages have been around for several years. Quicken
is more common, and due to the fact that they cater to
both PC and Mac machines, they have a larger market
share and installed user base. MoneyDance is a bit
newer, but has its share of fans in the Mac world.
For those of you out there into the open source thing
who are most likely running the free and open source
operating system, Linux, there is an open source
solution out there for you as well. GnuCash is an
excellent, robust personal finance application for *NIX
based machines. Not only is it intuitive and easy to
use, but it is freely available with source code!
That’s a deal that can’t be beat!
No matter what kind of computer you use at home, if
you want to organize your finances and simplify your
accounting, be sure to look into the different software
packages that are out there for the various operating
systems that can help make you more productive,
organized, and most importantly, profitable.
