personal finance

Lori suggested I give a shout out to the website we use to track our finances;

http://www.clearcheckbook.com

Lori and I wanted to combine our tracking, but wanted a way for her to be able to do it from work sometimes. This left us looking for the equivalent of a "quicken on-line". There are a few sites similar to ClearCheckbook, but this is by far the best I have used. They are also actively enhancing the site (they just implemented a suggestion I had made a couple months ago).

I will admit that after using Quicken and GNUCash over the years, that it is not a completely like replacement for them. It needs sub-categories and some better reporting to get there, but I have no doubt they'll accomplish it eventually.

This site doesn't seem to get much press when compared to Mint (http://www.mint.com) and the new Quicken Online (http://www.quickenonline.com), but it has a huge benefit over them. Those two sites require you to enter the username and password to all of your other financial institutions. I know too much about computer security to trust my entire life's finances to a site like that. ClearCheckbook is manual entry system, or it can also take an import of the right format file if your financial institution supports it.

Anyways, there is my shout-out. I'm also adding them as a link to the side when I remember how to edit those here in a minute.
