What personal finance software do you use?

I have been using Microsoft’s Money personal finance software for over 9 years. My 30MB data file has over 12 years of transactions listed, showing spending, profits, debts and general financial activity over the first years of my adult life.

I rely on Microsoft Money.

I have used Money on a series of Windows laptops I get for work - but in the past 2 years I’ve been using a MacBook as my main machine, at home, and so the only time I get to update money is when I’m at work. I would like a solution that could be used both at work, and at home.

I have installed Parallels to use Microsoft Money at home. It’s only the trial version, and it’s not the fastest. Also, I’m not sure I can justify paying for Parallels just to use Microsoft Money.

I’ve also played with BootCamp, but the re-booting is a hassle.

Anyway, I hope to write more about Microsoft Money over the next few months, and pass on some of what I’ve learned from using it.
