Default Finances

Does anyone know of any good websites where you can plug in monthly expenses, bills you pay, what you make, etc so you can kind of plan out a budget and see where you are financially?

Is there a legitimate website available for this, or do you have to buy software??

i would think a simple spreadsheet that shows your income verses your expenses will be sufficient

Hm. That could work.
Ive taken plenty of courses on Exel and Micro.Office (massage school requires this?????). But I get frustrated with doing things like that. I try but I cant seem to get the equations to work right for me

What exactly does Quicken entail?
Ive heard of it for sure but never messed around on it or anything.
I dont think there is software or a website for what Im looking for.

I kind of want to see if where I stand financially now is decent, and how to go about budgeting and all that. Im pretty good with that stuff now..but I kinda wanna know where I stand

well just make it very simple. have all your income in one column, then all your expenses/bills in the next column - total both - compare and see where all your money is going. Then you can just plug and play numbers to budget

Ill have to sit down when I have some free time and kinda mess around with it.

Im always a little leery of putting information like that on my computer though. My friend Sarah had something happen to hers where all of her accounts got deleted. FB, MYspace, Email, and alot of other things, and she doesnt know what happened. So putting my financial info on the computer scares me. Any way to avoid this??
