The Best Personal Budgeting Software
Software for Managing Your Personal Budget

By , About.com Guide

Do you or someone you know streamline personal financial management into one word: "budget"? Many people are keeping a personal budget or are considering starting a budget so they can craft a plan for financial independenc. Committed budgeters need financial software that make creating a budget easy and:

  • Provide more budgeting ideas.
  • Teach how to refine budgeting skills.
  • Help with planning for future large purchases.

I think the best budgeting software for those who very seriously want to start a personal or household budget or who already are committed to budgeting is You Need A Budget Pro. I especially like YNAB because this software teaches you how to stick to a budget while maintaining a healthy emergency fund.

You Need a Budget Pro is only available by download from the Internet, but if you want to give it as a gift we've got you covered: you can still wrap up a software download as a presentable gift.
