It's a very good idea to know where you spend the money. I used to keep track of my monthly expenses on Intuit's Quicken, but have given up on that. :blowzy:

I have been using Microsoft Money for a couple of years, sometimes it is tedious, but the report is very clear, you know where your money goes.

And do you find that anything could be filed under "miscellaneous"?
