Nice. I need to track on my budget using less paper. However a notebook and pencil are still good for back up.

Hello, you have a well laid out and informative blog. I'm looking to build more backlinks to my blog from quality sites so if you'd like to exhange links let me know.

Leave me a comment/mail if you're interested. Thanks!

I checked with Mr. YNAB :) "It can run just fine on Linux is the person has OpenOffice installed (a free spreadsheet program similar to MS Office). YNAB Pro does not work on Linux (yet)."

I just use my Palm Treo's "Budget Manager." Nothing fancy. Tempted to resurrect my old MS Money files., but the problem is I use Linux now. Does YNAB work with Linux?

Hi Daniel! Yes, discipline with money doesn't come naturally to everyone... so you gotta put in some crutches and "cheat" yourself (like regular contributions and automatic transfers) until it becomes natural. LOL
Isn't Glyphius software for copywriting?

What do you use now, Ingrid?
I logged in again just now to my old moneytrackin account coz you brought it up; I feel kind of lost actually. Maybe they should have 'getting started' javascript popups or something.
It's already hassle enough to track each cent that comes out of my wallet... having to enter one by one on a website is just too much trouble. Recording takes me a total of 30-45 minutes for a month's worth of transactions. And I want easy access to my budget, no need to login, no dependence on 3rd party. I'm okay with SaaS for a lot else, but until there's no personal finance webapp like mint.com / moneytrackin.com / mvelopes.com that connects straight to my bank's (BPI) system, I'm happy with YNAB.
I backup constantly anyway with Mozy (register via https://mozy.com/?ref=Z929CB)and trying out Wuala too (tell me if you want an invite) so I'm sure my YNAB file's intact.

Hi Marie,

This reminds me of http://www.moneytrackin.com/tour/about/ - I heard good things about it. The interface looks good. I have never tried it, though.

I've never heard about YNAB.. though I must admit that I do need a lot of help with cash moderation.. I've checked yahoo and google and Glyphius but nothing seemed too promising. I hope this works for me too. Wish me luck!
