Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-march-28-do-you-know-where-your-taxes-are dept.

sreilly self-promotes: "Moneydance 2003 has just been released for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. This program is a completely cross-platform replacement for Quicken or MS Money. This is the first time that online banking and online bill payment has been available in a made-for-Linux application. It also has features that aren't available in Quicken such as an extension mechanism that lets developers easily add and distribute new features to the program."

      Since the average linux user has no girlfriend, yes, he does still have some money.

    Until there is a personal finance program that allows me to calculate my savings in large stone wheels, I just don't have a use for it.

    I've tried it before. People just looked at me funny and I didn't get any money. Same thing with the rain dance. Must be doing something wrong...

      Must be doing something wrong..

      This reminds me of my favorite far side. There were a bunch of indians standing around looking at one in the middle. The indian in the middle was holding a book titled "101 Rain Dances". Instead of rain drops, it was raining hand-crank egg beaters. The caption said, "Oh, one step to the left, then two to the right. What kind of dance was I doing?"

      Disconnect your television. Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions. They're probably lying. Don't be a sheep.

    And, having my /. habits honed to a fine edge, jumped right in without reading the post either, expecting to find something about Steve Ballmer. Oh well.

    You ought to try MS Money. I use it in exactly the way you describe. Every time I open it up, it tells me where I've already overspent my budget for the month. Every week, I check where I have money left in the budget, and spend accordingly.

    $120 left in the grocery budget on the last Sunday of the month? Let's eat steak! Gas budget is over by $20? Better reallocate from groceries...

    Not only that, but it also includes a "Lifetime Planner," which tells you how much you'll want to earn when you're having kids, paying for college, retiring, and so on.
