Dave Ramsey’s Personal Finance Software – Budgeting Software
A few months back the Dave Ramsey website was having a deal on there Financial Peace Software so I decided to buy it. Though I have had the software for a few months I only just started using this month. So far I really like it. There are a lot of great tools offered in the software.
All of the worksheets found in the Financial Peace University curriculum (Monthly Cash Flow, Allocated Spending, Income Sources, etc.) is also found on the CD-ROM. You can print out blank sheets or the sheets you have filled out.
The great part about this budgeting software is that it calculates everything for you. So you just enter the numbers and then the software takes care of the rest. Percentages are also automatically calculated for you.
There are some other tools that are useful as well. In the Tools section of the CD-ROM you can use the Financial Calculators, Glossary and Check Register. The software is fairly simple (as opposed to too complicated that you get frustrated and don’t bother with it) but very useful. The Debt Snowball program is one of the best features. Enter in all your debt balances with monthly payments and it will calculate how long it will take for you debt to be paid. The Debt Snowball features also allows you to view your progress in charts and graphs.
The software is $24.95 and totally worth it. I like having my budgeting software on my computer since it’s with me just about everywhere I go. You also have the choice of downloading the software straight from the website. No need to wait on getting your budget started. Check it out! Dave Ramsey’s Personal Finance Software.

Not that this software is PC ONLY. You cannot use it on a Mac.
I used to use some similar software, but I like having my information online (like my email, calendar, etc) because if/when my computer crashes it’s nice to know my information is still safe. I looked around at some of the online ones and wasn’t too happy with them, so I created my own. I made it mostly for my wife and myself, but as I added more features, I figured I might as well open it up to others as well. It’s called NeoBudget (www.neobudget.com) and uses the envelope method to track your budget (like Ramsey recommends). It costs $2.50/month, but you get a free month to try it out before you need to make a decision of whether or not to purchase. Check it out!
I have this software also, and I supplement it with Quicken online. I had a 3 month trial membership, and was about to cancel it when I learned that it is now free.
