One possibility is Mint. Free. Never used it myself.

I use Yodlee Moneycenter. It's web-based and you can view activity on any of your online accounts from it. Best thing to happen to my finances

Here's a demo:

Maybe I'm ultra paranoid, but I don't like the idea of having a one stop shop for criminals to hack into. I've been using Quicken longer than I can remember and really like it (however the 2007 version isn't as nice as the 2000 version I upgraded from, but that's another story

). But even with Quicken I don't store all my ID's and passwords so it can automatically download my activity. Like I said, maybe I'm just ultra paranoid.

When I upgraded to Quicken I also did research on MS Money and they both received high reviews.

Tip: You can usually pick up the basic version of Microsoft Money for under $10 in the jewel case software rack at Wal-Mart.

i have been using microsoft money for years and it is great for keeping all of your accounts in order, keeping on top of your bills and tracking your spending. i have not used quicken, but i would assume it would be a good choice as well.
