It depends on the software program you are using. You might be tempted to stay with the program you’ve been using for a while, if it has many great features you know how to use and is easy to use. You might be looking for a new program if this article is helping you.

Quicken Online is what I use at the moment. It’s a great program that is free and I love it. Quicken allowed me to connect my online savings, checking and investment accounts. It is also possible to hook up credit card accounts. It’s great to be able see all my money automatically updated without me having to do anything.

You also get a budgeting feature. This will come in handy if you are having trouble sticking to your budget. This works by setting a spending limit on a specific category, such as auto or utilities. The limit will be visible to you. When your account informs you that you are done spending, it is much easier to stick to your budget.

To ensure that you don’t spend too much, fill in your monthly limits and keep track of it.
