I use Quicken for setting up and adjusting our budget, tracking our spending and saving, and analysis. This month, I've also been using Jesse's You Need a Budget, in an effort to have a tighter grip on our day to day expenses. I'm trying to see just how much I can control some of the spending that goes on. It has definitely made me more aware of my spending, of my budget and of my wants versus needs. I don't like entering data twice, however, so I won't keep doing things this way. My hope is that after a few months, new habits will be ingrained, or at least new ways of thinking, and then I can go back to just using Quicken.
