Money Management
http://live.pirillo.com/ - Managing your money can be a difficult and often painful experience. But through all of the pains come some great stories. Introducing: Ponzi and Chris’s money stories.
According to Ponzi, Chris is good at making money, but the responsibility of managing the money always falls on Ponzi’s shoulders. In her short story Ponzi tells us how she came to respect the idea of "a penny saved is a penny earned."
We also learned a few things about money management in this video:
- Pennies are money.
- Chris hates pennies.
- Chris used to throw away all of his pennies, but thanks to Ponzi now he saves his pennies and uses Coinstar.
We also learned that when it comes to math, Chris is helpless - unless he has calc.exe.
Out of all of the money management software out there, Ponzi and Chris use Microsoft Money, because it fits all of their needs.
Programs like Quicken, Peachtree, and Quickbooks offers an accountant’s point of view on money - talking in credits and debts - whereas Microsoft Money gives talks about money in a way that the average user would understand.
So, there are Chris and Ponzi’s money stories. What are some of yours?

I have used Quicken and Money, but I prefer Moneydance (www.moneydance.com). It meets my needs and I would encourage you to try it and see if it meets your needs. It is free to try and it will work on any operating system as it is java based.
Note: I have no connection with Moneydance or it’s developer other than being a satisfied user.

it to dollars to make the saying relevant here. I first spotted Chris Pirillo in an issue of CPU and I picked up his RSS feed in short order. A visit to Wikipedia will provide you an extensive overview of everything else Chris Pirillo gets up to. An Episode of the Chris Pirrillo Show - Money - watch the video. Just had an interesting thought, I should make my own Wikipedia entry about myself, the Kodger and Kodgers Korner, would be the height of narcissism though I suppose but what the heck.

GA! Get some math skills
one hundred times one thousand is one hundred thousand
100*1,000 = 100,000

GnuCash is free/open source & now works on Windows. Strongly recommended over moneydance or other alternatives ESPECIALLY to those whose personal finances begin to look like a small business (like Chris).
