GnuCash

GnuCash is personal accounting software that is almost equivalent to Quicken but free. I love free things, I also love Open Source and GnuCash is. This software is perfect for someone who’s financial tracking needs are simple. You are able to track your income and expenses, credit cards, savings and investments, and more. This software is almost the same as the most basic version of Quicken.

Not only is it good to keep track your finances, you can use this software to teach kids about money and a little math too. Have this program automatically add your kids allowance to their account and they can see how much they will have in the future.

I have been using the program for about 3 months and love it. Those extra features that Quicken has I would probably never use, so why pay for it?

Try this program for yourself. You can get started quickly by importing your Quicken database or you can start from scratch.
