For a one time cost of 19.95 it allows me to budget all money that comes in to any category You also can download and use the program for a free trial. It has everything I want and is an envelope style like Myenvelopes without the ongoing cost. It has a download feature but since I prefer manual entry I have never used it so I can't comment on that. I found YNAB overly complicated and difficult to use, but it may have been because I have been using the above which automatically enters the debit from one account to credit another and with YNAB you have to enter them twice.

I think that it doesn't really matter which package you use just as long as you find something that helps you budget to the best of your ability. I think that creating a budget is a great idea, but sticking to it is even better!

Most people I know who do not budget their money use the "it's too complicated" excuse. I'll direct them here from now on!
