There are many reasons why Money takes the top slot as the best budgeting software for Mac software you can purchase for your personal finances. It could be that it tracks and actively updates your portfolio, or maybe it can keep tabs on almost all your accounts. It is an envelope budgeting software that allows you to use siri and texting to input money the second you spend it. There is a feature that will text you and your spouse how much is left in the envelope just used. Hi I have been using budgeting software for many years, both for my personal finances and for my work with small businesses. I have used Microsoft Money, Quickbooks and a couple of different versions of Sage. They all had pros and cons, but I don’t really have anything bad to say about them. I do however have something to say about YNAB – I found this a couple of years ago when I found I couldn’t get an update to Money, and it has totally transformed the way I look after my own finances. The guy who invented it has a wonderful ethos which is very holistic in terms of how you use the software to improve your relationship to your money, not just track it. It teaches you to look at how much money you have to spend in each spending category rather than how much money you have in each account. It is really easy to use, has a supportive online community with free training for those who want it, it is available as a download from the internet, and there is a free trial period after which I am willing to bet that if you seriously want to live within your means you will be hooked. It is well worth the reasonable cost, even (maybe especially) for those on a tight budget. I hesitated to fork out for it because using it for a month had taught me that I really shouldn’t buy anything I hadn’t budgeted for, but I realized that it was saving me from so many unwise purchases that it was really worth it. I can look after my finances in a fraction of the time it took with Money, and I am finally getting to grips with paying off long term debt, thanks to the ethos behind the software. I am so thankful for this post!!! I have used the same envelope budgeting program for the past 17 yrs. Since we upgraded to Windows 7 in Dec, I have had trouble with errors. Yesterday, I decided that it was time to change programs. Dh & I sat down and talked about it after I had read your post and checked out all of the downloads. (We aren’t ready to use online choices yet.) We chose YNAB mainly because it was very well supported and updated as well as being compatible to IPHONE & Android, though we don’t use smartphones – yet. Thank you, Melissa; this was a big help. Now to dig into the new program and learn the new lingo. I don’t know the basis for Varthaman’s comments, but my wife and I have used YNAB since January of 2012 and are extremely happy with it. We have practiced envelope budgeting for 19 years, and I looked at a LOT of different software products before settling upon YNAB, including Moneywell, Moneydance, Budget by Snowmint, iBank, and probably a couple others that I have forgotten. We are Mac users, so needed something that ran on Mac. YNAB is written on Adobe Air and works on both Windows and Mac (with no performance issues that I have encountered). The design is simple and reliable, the iPhone app is extremely well done, and the Dropbox sync between mobile and desktop is extremely reliable. I can recommend YNAB without hesitation, and definitely do not work for them. For a long time I used envelope budgeting by using a homemade spreadsheet. It worked, but was time consuming. I did a free trial of mvelopes and thought it was good, but needed more accounts than their free option and I thought their price for monthly use was to high. I have used YNAB for 8 months now and I think it is a good system, but not for me. I like giving each dollar I earn a purpose and with YNAB that is not how you do it. Basically I want to fill the envelope and then spend out of it. With YNAB you have a monthly income amount but you don’t fill the envelopes. It compares income to your over under spent. YNAB is a good system, just not for me.

Most financial experts and books steer people away from apps entirely, because exposes you to the reality of your money in a way that having it done for you cannot.
