loner w/a boner Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Did a "search" on this using "financial software" and "accounting software" and came up with tons of non-related stuff. So, I apologize for not being able to find a post that is almost certainly on this board. I'm looking for some software to help track my finances. It DEFINITELY needs to have "accounts" with running balances AND payoff periods (these two are most important). Some sort of cash flow "visual aid" would be nice, also. The option to split principle and interest would be nice (automatically if I enter the int rate, or the option to manually enter it would be fine), but this last item is NOT necessary. Of course, I would assume all packages would have a simple investment tracking feature. Been years n years since I've seen Quicken (now Quickbooks for non-pro, I think), and DacEasy, so I don't know if those are even what I want now. This is for personal finances, so no complex enterprise-level stuff is wanted. Being the cheapskate that I am, I would strongly prefer to either buy it at some place like Panthip Plaza or Zeers (I'm near Don Meaung/Rangsit) or download freeware (not just a trial period version). There's so much reading/research involved trying to sort through all the downloadable stuff, I'm hoping someone here already knows what I'm looking for, or knows a package at Panthip that I can get. Using Windows XP/2000. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Quicken is the best IMHO. Available from the usual places, or on a torrent. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loner w/a boner Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 thanks guys. been looking around 4 freeware on the Net. Got a lot of downloading / installing / deleting to do. If I were to do it the fast way, I'd just pick me up Quickbooks. I may end up doing that anyway. If I find a really "nice" freeware pack, I'll post it here. Take Care, and thanks again.
