I would like a site, pay or free (free is preferred ) that allows me and my wife to keep track of our expenses something like a checkbook. If it was more like the microsoft money screen where you enter what you spent, etc. that would be great. I would like to update what I spend and she can update what she spends, etc. from home or work. I don't mind paying a small monthly fee if it allows us both to track our finances like that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, however it doesn't have our credit union listed

Does you CU have an option where you can download info into Money or Quicken?

[Gingerly]

Oh, I guess that only helps if you have the software at home...

I have microsoft money 2003 deluxe at home but i'm thinking of getting quicken. I don't really like the interface for microsoft money very much. But in this instance i'm wanting to do things online so my wife and I can both update from home or work.

I don't really like it either. I bought 2003 instead of 2004 for half the price. I set it all up and was like, blah.

I'd like to try Quicken.

But really, I think I'm just a paper-and-pen kinda person.

Quicken's interface is much more attractive. BUT with 2005 they changed to a new import format and many banks are charging for consumers to use that format. BofA for example, $9.95 a month!! CRAZY.

I'm working on something, doesn't pull the data from the banks though.

Wow!! That would make a really really great site!! I imagine it would be pretty complicated to do though. It wouldn't necessarily have to access the banks, the users would have to enter the info.

Imagine - all the military families that are separated, people who work out of town a week at a time, with spouse and kids back home.

I created this for the reasons you guys have stated. I usually pay bills and such at work and wanted to check finances at work but when I used quicken I could only access it at home. I also had it import quicke/money files from the banks but I didn't like that so I cut it out. This makes it more accurate/simpler if you can remember to enter what you purchased in there. I'm using it to track my four bank accounts and 10 credit cards. Let me know if you guys are interested ,I Need some more testers!

That is very cool, I saw a similar thing some time ago, but not nearly as many features, just an oline check book register. I was looking for a way to put a check book register on my cell phone.
