Mother o’ Four asked:


I was curious what works for other people out there who has to manage their finances on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.

When I first moved out of the house I wasn’t tought about how to budget and pretty much had to fall on my face. I had a checking account but didn’t keep good records and would be naive and bounce checks so I started getting money orders for everything and that helped to have better tabs to where it went.
By the time I had my second child I got the hang of using the checkbook register and would highly recommend that to anyone who is learning about budgeting or doesn’t have financial software.
When we bought our first computer it had Microsoft Money on it and I didn’t like it and would forget to log things so I deleted the program and went back to paper method.
A few years later I decided to try the Quicken software which was verison 2004 and got hooked. I’m currently using verison Qkn Deluxe 2006 and was wanting to upgrade but didn’t need investment catagories.
