What tool do you use for simple money management?
1 points by productionQA 4333 days ago
Wondering what tool(s) you guys/gals use for simple money management. I've tried Mint in the past, but I don't need a budgeting tool, per say, and it's bells and whistles were more than I needed.

I seem to simply want something where I can manage my inflows and outflows and figure out what I have left at the end of each month.

Any simple tools out there for this that maybe I have not come across?

What do you use?

http://ledger-cli.org/ I tend to put things into categories like food, electronics, bills, etc and can run a report each month to see how much was spend in each category. I can also determine how much was left at the end of the month and transfer that amount to savings after the first paycheck of the new month has come in.
