Getting Started with a Budget

You might be a believer in the messy budget. Even so, you’ll want to have some idea of what money you earn and spend so that you live at or below your means in these lean financial times.

Are you interested in setting up a budget or learning more about the budgeting process?

I’ve written about budgeting several times on this site. Here are the links.

Don’t Forget to Manage Your Household Finances!

Quicken Deluxe 2012 is an easy to use, reliable software solution for managing your household finances. If you're ready to save time and money by taking better care of your home finance issues, you might want to try Quicken.

Quicken is from Intuit, the company behind Mint.com. If you prefer an online only solution to managing money and don't need the detail that desktop money management software can give you, you should try Mint. I recently revisited Mint because of the useful Mint Android app. It's the easy way to keep up with your account balances on the go. I do still use the discontinued Microsoft Money but am in the process of switching to YNAB (for budgeting), which I'll write about soon.
