What can be better than Free?

Ok. Before we get into this, I want to put a disclaimer that I have no beef against Quicken or Microsoft. This is just one mom's (busy one mind you)experience and opinion.

I have been a loyal user for Quicken for a long time. I have come a long way from just putting every penny on my notebook to track my expense to the 21st century of the computer application. However, with all the bells and whistles that Quicken offered, I didn't seem to be able to keep up with my expense tracking. I mean seriously.. who has time to download each account and update it manually.. Worst of all, with my OCD I can't go to sleep till I have RECONCILED that darn penny that is missing!!!! Seriously!

So most of the time I would be updating for a few months and then didn't do a thing for the next 5 months. Then I would have to find time to update that last 5 months. So I know it's not working for me.

Until, I have found Yodlee MoneyCenter. This is a FREE, online money management program. They don't have all other fancies stuff like Quicken but I think for my purpose it's more than enough.

You might not have heard of Yodlee but this company is the tool behind several financial companies that you might have used it yourself like Fidelity, ING and well.. check out their website.

So if I have to put it, this is one of my time and money saving tool that I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to leverage their time.
