Well, I have Excel for Mac, so it's one option and the good thing is: no additional expense.

Well, except for the manual I'd need to buy to learn to use it.

I've attempted the write-everything-down-in-book thing, but there are so MANY things, and I just don't keep doing it. Because then I'd have to separately total all the categories, and ... I just don't. I've heard good and bad stuff about Quickbooks for Mac, so may look into that; my prior (years ago) attempt at diligently using Quicken? Was a dismal failure, largely due to the software being IMO pretty crappy and difficult to use. I'm a little traumatized from that very frustrating experience. But learning Excel might not be such a bad thing. Maybe.

ETA that I am going to have to develop some means of tracking all my PayPal transactions. What each one is for.

And I still have no idea how to file state income taxes. *facepalm*
