I've always relied on my brain to keep track of how much money I have in my bank account vs. how much I've spent. I'm looking for a way to do it using my computer with a program...kinda like a spreadsheet or another program that makes it easy to 'balance your checkbook' and keep track of how much you've spent and how much is in your bank account and all. can anyone recommend any programs like that? i've tried searching but i honestly don't even know what to look for. i need to keep better track of my funds and my life is computer-centric so i figured i'd go about it this way. thanks for any help.
and oh yeah...

Is it called "Quicken" because it'll make you crazy even quicker?

My past is a foreign country. Most things are different there, including word usage.

Here's a shareware program ($15), that should do the job.
There are a few more (free also) that run under Windows, but only this one for a Mac.
CheckBook 1.1.5 ==> http://www.tucows.com/preview/294125
I'm not recommending this program.
Personally, I use a hand-held calculator and #2 pencil (with eraser).

I just buy everything with my Amex and VISA cards. This way, they do all the inventorying of my expenses, and I just pay the total amount in full. I hardly ever use cash. Even my tips are on the cards. Helps to build up mileage points. Hardly use checks except to pay taxes. All my utilities are paid by automatic bill payment from either my checking account or savings. Saves stamps and checks.

I do all my spendings, trackings and calculations with Microsoft Excel. It is fairly straightforward and I dont have any complaints about it.
