I’ve had a similar problem with Mint not letting me organize tags the way I want them for the budgets I have set up. So I have a spreadsheet & am starting to play with Toshl as a way of tracking my expenses – it is on my phone & I add in the item when I get my bill using whatever tags I like, and it spits it out as a spreadsheet on my computer for easy cutting & pasting into the spreadsheet. It also keeps a running tab of how much I’ve spent under each tag. Advertised as “mobile expense tracking.” So far, so good.

Thanks for the plug J. I don’t think my Twitter handle competes with the best, AKA eliteedgemoney.

I use pocketsmith.com I love the simplicity of adding expenses to my calendar to forecast how much money i will have in the future. At the moment my finances are looking ok, but I really want an Iphone which throws my budgeting out the window!

Thanks for all the other sites guys! Never heard of Just Thrive before, or even ClearCheckbook.com, but these are all great - as well as the others mentioned :) I'm sure these will help Deb and anyone else looking around! You guys rock.

I’d say go with the spreadsheets. For me, this works the best in that when I have to manually enter all of the information, and add things up, etc., it really helps me to keep track of things more. I’d feel guilty looking over my individual purchases, and that would help me to curve my spending habits!:)

Good luck with the search!

I keep hearing good things about justthrive but never got it to work. Another mint fan here… We use google spreadsheet to put in day to day expenses (and share), but overall month-to-month planning is done via mint.

@Nunzio – Actually, I do share a similar document with my fiance for our wedding finances. I also use it to share a wedding checklist with deadlines and the guest list – that way we can both access the information from wherever we are. Super helpful.
