I came across an article that mentioned a few free money tracking/budgeting websites. I decided to try one out (Expensr), so in my down time at work yesterday I went through last months credit card and debit card transactions and put them in (gotta love online banking - have everything at your fingertips). I hope I can keep up with putting in my purchases everyday b/c it is pretty cool to see where the money goes. You also put in your deposits, so it shows you a green or red balance number, then you can break it into categories that shows you a pie chart of where you're spending the most money. So far I'm doing good with a green balance and the biggest chunks going to food, bills and savings. I even got Jeff to start it last night. Again we'll see how long we stay motivated to keep inputting the numbers :)

    I'll have to check this one out. I've been using Mint for several months now and have found it useful.

    Definitely check out Mint.com! There's no inputting anything, except to update categories if you don't agree with their defaults! It's pretty darn cool!

    As soon as they get a reporting tool... it'll really be the bomb!
