Hi all - I am looking for software to manage my budget and I have a few requirements that the software will need to be able to handle. 1) I bank with Bank of America so ideally the software would be able to download my indivitual account transactions from BofA (not just the balance). If BofA offers this kind of budgeting tool that would be even better. 2) I get paid every other week so I budget bi-weekly as opposed to monthly. 3) I want to be able to track my budgeted items versus actual transactions to see where I am over/under. For example, I’d like to have a budget line item for “Groceries” and then when I shop for groceries at Wal-Mart for example, I can link the purchase at Wal-Mart to the “Groceries” budget. 4) My main goal is to always be able to see how much money I have left over each period as transactions come in. I’m thinking Quicken would fit the bill but wanted to get your thoughts before I went out and bought it. Also, are there any web-based tools that would work? Thanks!!!
