I want to track my personal income and spending, as well as have some basic business functionality for my home business. I don't want to spend $300 for Quickbooks though.

I have been using Quicken for about 6 years now and love the program. I tried MS Money, but didn't really like it. I am sure that is mostly because I am used to Quicken.
If you do get Quicken, take the tutorials and leave the tips open. My latest version of Quicken (2006 Deluxe) handles every type of account (personal) I know of including stock, mutual funds, assets, and cash accounts. My financial institution offers downloads for my monthly transactions and Quicken allows for them to be automatically imported. I don't do that but my father does. He is managing my Uncles accounts and that is a very easy way to keep the accounts up to date. It takes him about 10 minutes each month to download the CSV files and import them into Quicken. No more typing / transposition errors.
Good Luck.
P.S., if you are not in a hurry, look for deals that come with tax software. I get a free upgrade every other year because I buy Quicken's tax software.

i've got used the two yet I want Quicken. no longer purely are you able to deal with money extra beneficial yet you will get carry of your transactions into the appliance. once you get married, have a house, and plan for retirement with IRAs and 401Ks, conserving your bills right this moment is plenty less demanding.
