I use MS Money 2000 for budgeting/records. The interface looks like a checkbook register, and it's easy to input stuff and get reports on particular expense categories (although I don't know if it will include multiple accounts in the reports, offhand. Hm.). I don't know what newer versions look like and have wondered if we should upgrade, but it does what we need it to do. One thing I do like about it is that we can split up a transaction--so the paycheck lets us enter the gross pay, the different taxes, etc, and that way we can keep track of it. That's also how I separate out purchases from the cash-back I get (because that's almost always how I get cash, and we NEED to keep track of how much cash we go through, because that stuff is so frighteningly easy to spend!).

...and it looks like Microsoft is discontinuing Money, so you're back to Quicken for software like that. Um. Sorry?
