 Posted: Tue May 09, 2006 9:53 am Post subject: Personal budget software |
 |
|
I am looking for some financial software for linux so I can:
1) Make a monthly budget
2) Keep track of how much I have spent in each catergory e.g. £10 left in travel for this month
Can anyone recommend any software? I looked at gnucash, but it looked too complex for what I wanted. |

| Looks good, but it appears to have budgeting as a future advancement. Maybe budgeting means something slightly different in the fiancial world. |

GNUCash?
Granted it is not budgeting software per say. It is accounting software.
It does have the best help files of any piece of software I have ever used though , and once you get the hang of it, makes seeing where your money went very easy.

why not just do a spreadsheet - gnumeric, openoffice there's a couple spreadsheet capable apps out there. perosonally I'd go for openoffice, just plan on a weekend away while it compiles...  I use openoffice myself,just for that - my PC is erm.. a home-user, no no real need for any other aspects of openoffice, but I played with the letter writing aspect and it seems good. the presentation aspect is great for all those weird things my bud sent ib e-mail

You're right. KMyMoney2 0.8.5 doesn't provide budgeting.
But the good news is, that it will arrive sometime in the near future. If you can't wait to see you might want to try it from CVS. Works well for me...
