I'm trying to find a good basic financial planning software program that can help me keep up with household accounts and expenses. I would also like to learn about (beginner level) investing. I am looking for a software program or programs that can do this that other people like and have tried successfully. I've read reviews of various programs on a few major consumer sites and I find myself more confused than when I started. I need to balance the checkbooks, do taxes, calculate interest, watch regular payments and try some beginning investments. I'd really appreciate any ideas and direction you can point me in. Thank you!

we use microsoft Money and it seems to do everything that you are looking for. I think we have the step up version and not just the basic one though because of the investments.

Quicken or Microsoft Money will work.
Personally I use Quicken but the only thing I don't like about it is they make you upgrade to the latest and greatest every couple years. I had 2003 version but they stopped supporting it and cut off the online functionality so I had to upgrade even though 2003 did everything I needed...oh well. Not sure if Money does the same thing or not. Oh yeah, Quicken doesn't handle Savings Bonds very well.

Quicken own Deluxe. It change into on clearance for $19.ninety 8 - a miracle. ultimately offered it very last week from Sams club this is merely as strong as MS money inspite of the indisputable fact that. not particular about quick Books. earlier i purchased Quicken I had a application that change into great common with a verify register and pie graphs that confirmed you the position you money change into going. you may want to attempt this month-to-month, each year, custom. It change into loose off the internet. Ace money Lite. yet.. It really helps you to have one bank account. once you've extra debts, you should pay for this methodology. I actual loved Ace money Lite. common and (i imagine) extra effective than this complicated Quicken money. i'm merely giving Quicken a try for 6 months or so (i do not supply up extremely)...
