What do you use? I've used Clearcheckbook but I don't really think it's that good. I've tried setting up an account on Mint, but for whatever reason, it won't let me connect to my online banking. Anyone have any suggestions of good sites?

I use PearBudget. They have both an excel document and an online system. I haven't tried their online system at all because I'm happy with the free excel document.

Mint is a cool idea, but it kinda makes me nervous. I get its all super-secure (supposedly) but Im still not willing to take that kind of risk with my info floating about.
Pearbudget looks kinda nifty- i had a quick look.

I like Mint a lot. I was concerned about the security...more about unauthorized transactions taking place rather than just having my data viewed. If you are okay with this, you should give it a shot.

The problem I have with Mint is that it doesn't work very well. Updates are slow and often fail. The graphics and plots look good, but are too inflexible. It's more of a neat toy than a powerful tool.

Pearbudget does look really neat and easy to use. I've also been wary of Mint for the same reasons listed above. But I think these two systems are meant for different kinds of money management. It looks like Pearbudget is more for basic budgeting, while Mint is for really knowing where every penny goes.

I use Mint. I find it interesting but I don't use it regularly, a check in periodically and kind of look at my spending trends.
In regards to the security, I've been using it for a couple years and havent had issues. The idea does cross my mind though.

I'm a big fan of Mint, but I also use a spreadsheet in Google docs to track my many different accounts about twice a month. Just to keep myself in check.
