<p>I'm looking for an intuitive free to use personal finance management web application. There's a whole bunch of them out there and the few that seems modern are:</p> <pre><code>www.buxfer.com www.wesabe.com www.budgetpulse.com money.strands.com www.moneytrackin.com www.justthrive.com </code></pre> <p>I plan to try each one of them but that might take me a while to find my perfect match. Which personal finance web app do you guys use or recommend?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I've already checked out Mint, it's for US users only. I'm looking for a web app for Canadian or International users.</p>

<p>My husband downloaded all kinds of iPhone apps that mimic the barcodes on my rewards cards such as AirMiles, Aeroplan, Longo's, Hallmark etc. Are these types of applications secure?</p>

<p>For instance, a contractor, lawyer, accountant etc. would want the ability to easily track time spent on tasks or client activities, without having to manually log/track via spreadsheet. Are there tools that exist to help track billable hours, by client/project/task?</p>

<p><a href="http://mint.com" rel="nofollow">Mint.com</a> has languished for years (<a href="http://forums.mint.com/archive/index.php/t-593.html" rel="nofollow">over three now</a>) in not supporting Canadian banks. Given that we only have a few, you would think it to be a small amount of work.</p> <p>Which online banking sites (apart from your own bank's) have people used for Canadian accounts?</p>

<p>For online applications such as <a href="http://www.mint.com/" rel="nofollow">Mint</a> and <a href="http://quickenonline.com" rel="nofollow">Quicken (online)</a>, to automatically update your accounts, they'll always ask you to enter your login info to your banking and/or investment accounts.</p> <p>Do you trust giving out these types of personal information, how do you know you can trust them?</p> <p><hr /> <strong><em>Moderator's note:</strong> I've merged into this question the following similar question (and its answers):</em></p> <blockquote> <p>Services like <a href="http://www.mint.com/" rel="nofollow">mint.com</a> and <a href="http://quickenonline.com" rel="nofollow">quickenonline.com</a> they seem to simplify money management and offer an attractive alternative to using traditional financial software. I'm tempted to use them, but security is a definite concern. What are your experiences and thoughts on this? <em>[this version was originally asked by M.

<p>I track my spending in <a href="http://buddi.digitalcave.ca/" rel="nofollow">Buddi</a>, but it doesn't help me forecast my imminent cash needs, e.g. to pay off bills. Is there a good software application that lets me do this? It would have to have at least the following features:</p> <ul> <li>multiple accounts</li> <li>one-off transactions that I enter as necessary</li> <li>recurring transactions (weekly, fortnightly, monthly on a specific date)</li> <li>shows the balance of each account over time</li> </ul> <p>Ideally I'd like something web-based so that I can check it from work, home, etc.</p>

<p>I'm using Quicken 2008, I'm pondering upgrading to the 2010 edition, but...I'm having some problems; the online balance says I have like 3,000 some dollars and my Ending Balance says that I have like 600 dollars.</p> <p>I'm totally confused by this. My thought is that the online balance is what the bank believes I have in the bank. But I really don't know how much money I have right now. Is it 3,000 or is it 600? I mean that's a really large gap there.</p> <p>Why are there two different balances and what do they both mean?</p> <p>Please note that I get my transaction input from two different places:</p> <ol> <li>My PDA has Pocket Quicken installed on it and I sync this up with my Q2008 installation.</li> <li>All three of the Financial institutions that I use all sync up with my installation Q2008.</li> </ol> <p>I also read somewhere that if you have duplicate transactions in your Q2008 you should delete them. Does either the 2008 or 2010 edition have support for this, and how do you go about using it to iron out the errors in your account (if they are indeed errors...)</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Andrew J.
