Ask HN: Your Personal Finance Software?
11 points by NTH 5032 days ago
What hacker-friendly personal finance managing software is out there? Mainly what I'm interested in is:

* Being able to set budgets as percentages of my income * Being able to Play around with those budgets to see how a new expense would affect everything else * Having credit card purchases automatically tallied into the correct budgets, so I can see how much room I have remaining in each * Being able to access this data from mobile, so I can consult it before making a purchase

Do you know of anything that fulfills some or all of these goals? Or is there anything else that you particularly like?

http://neobudget.com since my wife and I do envelope budgeting. Works GREAT. Highly recommended.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I love http://www.youneedabudget.com. I've been using it religiously for over two years.
http://www.gnucash.org/ has scheme(guile) and python scripting, in addition to being open source
I used to use http://www.buxfer.com
I only use Mint. You're able to export all your data and do as you please. :)!
have you tried http://www.mint.com
+1 I have been using mint for a long time. The mobile apps are really great too. I have accounts at several institutions so I just open the app and it connects to all the institutions and updates my various balances.
