I’m awful at remembering to keep track of money I spend and earn, and I want to have another way to “balance my checkbook” besides just trusting my bank’s online tracking system. I am sure this is a matter of personal discipline, but how would you suggest I do so?

I’m wondering about books, web sites, software, magazines, etc. We have Macs at home, own rental properties, currently keep finances on customized spreadsheets in Appleworks. Would like better sync with online banking for a more comprehensive and integrated picture. Also want to have a comprehensive source for information so that we consider all the key elements of our finances without letting things fall through the cracks.

Thanks.

I have years of experience in accounting and finance. I would like to open my own business providing bookkeeping to small businesses and individuals who aren’t able to handle their own finances. How do I advertise and where do I go to get started?

Personal finance was slightly taught to me by my parents or in school. I had to learn how to balance a checkbook, the dangers of credit cards and about saving all on my own. What personal finance lesson do you wish you had been taught in your younger years & how would that have changed your current economic status?

I am 25 and have been working for a few years. Can anyone recommend any books and/or strategies to help me learn more about how to manage my personal finances? I know the basic about 401k and my Roth IRA. Can you help me prioritize and also suggest some other investment opportunities I should consider beyond my 401k and Roth IRA? Thx!

I’m just talking about personal checking accounts and savings accounts. Just keeping track of transactions and balances, not actually performing the transactions. One that I would have to actually enter transaction information with, doesn’t need to allow me to print off checks.

I need to set up a computer program to better manage our finances.

Monthly bills, taxes, monthly salary/wage, expenses, and etc. [Not including BUSINESS budgets]

I would like to find some good advice for someone who is not very good at managing her finances. This person has had some major repercussions as a result including a foreclosure, vehicle repossesion, and many problems with collection agencies. Currently this person is facing possible wage garnishment and is looking at filing bankruptcy for the second (!!) time. I strongly believe that if she files bankruptcy it will only mask the real problems that much longer so what she really needs is some good advice. If you know of any good websites, or have any good advice, I would appreciate your input.
