Default Personal Finance Software

I've been playing around with Yodlee software mostly so I can do bugets on my checking account. I have it all set up and it works great most of the time. However I'm finding out that about 5% of the time it is missing ceratain transactions. I sent customer service request but no luck so far. I also just signed up for Mint but it hasn't downloaded any previous transactions so I think I have to wait over a month of getting all the new tranactions as they happen to do a monthly expense report.

Is there a reliable Personal Finance software(that's free) so I don't have to baby sit it all the time and check for missed transactions,etc. If it's not reliable it's pretty much useless.

I have been using excel for the past 15+ years with no issues...

It's not free, but we have been using Microsoft money for years and are pretty happy with it. I know Dave Ramsey has some software too that I actually just got for "free" by ordering other things off of his website and using a coupon code. I also know people who use Quicken - again not free. So, my reply is actually probably not helpful to you at all. But like the pp said - if you are good with excel you can really customize it to make it exactly what you want.

I've been reasonably happy with Mint, but I still like the old Windows 3.1 Quicken! I used Quickenonline for a while and it was pretty bad, so it is easy to see why it went belly up.

The question is, however, ”is it effective at what?” There are many finance software packages.
