Personal Finance Software

[ferret]

Can anyone give me some advice as to the best personal finance software out there? I'm trying to see where my money is going each month and categorize items for budgetting. My big question is this:

Is there any sofware that automatically categorizes entries from my bank?

For example, and check card with 'chevron' in it will go to 'Gas'. I don't want to have to manually categorize each expenditure if I don't have to.

I'd say fuck quicken.. but quicken bought mint.com; Quicken is good if you absolutely need/want offline access.

Awesome guys thanks. At first I was leary of asking about this on tw but then I remembered everyone here makes at least 100k and dates a supermodel.

Make a Google spreadsheet.

Glad I didn't go through with my idea of making a Personal Budgeting website a while back. Intuit would destroy me lol.

PNC has all of this built into their online banking.

Quicken works fine for me. Been using it for almost 10 years now.

You need Virtual Wallet. Requires a certain credit score (not too high) and for you to apply for it. It however, does not factor in external credit cards like Mint can

 

[TruSoulja]

Yeah I should have clarified Virtual Wallet, sorry.

not surprising a cheapskate like rayn would know which one is the best
