I am referring to using some kind of a software/habit that can bring together all my bill paying into one central location. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Quicken is a great program with which you can connect straight to your bank account. Many people use this program for their personal finances.
My husband and I created a spreadsheet on Excel, a free program included when purchasing PC's, and it's exactly perfect for us. It's a relatively easy program to play around with and figure out, and there are tons of books you can buy to help you learn it quickly. With Excel you can chart and include whatever you wish, and personalize however you want. (the free part is a great plus as well) However, through Quicken you can set up to pay your bills online, etc. This isn't possible with Excel.

Depends on how complex your finances are. Quicken is an easy to use software program. If you self-direct your investments, you might want to check out E-trade or some other online investment companies. You can check them out in a "play money" type of mode to see if you like it. Beware of annual fees for dormant accounts or not keeping minimum balances. Be VERY aware of unscrupulous investment companies. If you're young, ask a reliable adult, i.e. a parent.

I've used Microsoft Money for the last 2 years and love it. You can create charts to show you how much you spend in different categories, or at certain places, etc. Very useful! It usually comes with your computer but you can also download it here: http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp for free. Also you can purchase a deluxe editions there or in a store. I use the free version.

Microsoft Money and Quicken both do a nice job. I personally prefer Quicken, but that's mostly because I'm used to it.
