[comp.sys.mac] Need a recommendation for a GOOD personal budgeting program

jlc@atux01.UUCP (J. Collymore) (03/21/89)

I would appreciate it if any of you might be able to suggest a GOOD Mac
program for helping a person examine and plan their household budget.  I would
like something that not only allows you to enter information regarding check-
book expenditures, but also entries you might want to make regarding charge
cards, and out-of-pocket cash expenses.

Please e-mail me your suggestions.  And thanks for your help.

I would HIGHLY suggest Managing Your Money.  It is a really well done 
Mac program (actually it started out on the PC, but that is quite 
difficult to tell).  The Accounts are easy to set up and it has a lot
of personal planning features built in (insurance, loans, accurate tax
estimates, etc).  It has special types of transactions for credit cards,
cash, and checks as well as handling transfers easily and it simplifies
complex transactions (like dividing the paycheck up into all of the
various governments, etc.) by having recurring transactions.

I have been using MacMoney for a couple of years now and think it is the
best value of any program I have purchased.  It will do all that was asked,
plus it allows you to set monthly budgets for various expense categories so
you can track your progress.  It has flexible reporting and is utterly
reliable (doesn't crash/lose data).  If you have specific questions, feel
free to e-mail me.
