Yehaw! I’ve been using Quicken Online for a few months and it’s a fine service except that I have to pay for it. Ok $2.99 per month isn’t much but still that’s $36 a year basically and I’m cheap.
I tried and tried other online financial software like Mint.com and Wesabe.com and while they provide some neat services (see previous article) they were missing one thing, adding upcoming transactions manually, and that was a deal breaker.
Well I tried out Buxfer.com again. Buxfer.com had the ability to add a transaction but it wouldn’t reconcile it with my bank so I’d end up with duplicate transactions. Now it does the reconciliation. I’ve tested it on two transactions and they both reconciled perfectly without any adjustment from me.
So buxfer.com will be my new money management software. I’ll keep Quicken Online for the next couple of weeks but hopefully I’ll be able to save myself $36 a year. Hmm, I know Wesabe was working on manually added transactions, I wonder if they ever did it. I’ll get back about that.
