Need help - Free or Cheap accounting software
I am looking for a cheap of free accounting software. I just need something to keep track of a checking account and some savings. No online banking just a good check registry with the ability to track and search transactions.
Thanks,

It's not free but I've been using Quicken for years to do what you described.
However, there is a free on-line version but I haven't used it. Just google Quicken and you will see the free version.

Quicken is good, albeit a bit constraining.

Anyway, back on topic, we have used Quicken at home and my wife's office for years, and Quickbooks at my office. No complaints whatsoever. They are inexpensive and work well - massive time-savers compared to manual bookkeeping.

Quicken is a good choice. I have been using it for 20 years. If you do your own taxes it ties right into Turbo Tax.

Quicken is great for this and really shines once you set it up to talk to your bank. I held off a long time on this one. Now I pay pretty much all my bills electronically and reconciling is a snap. Time saved well worth the few dollars it cost.

I think you are supposed to pay something if you like it. So just don't like it. Multi-user, Fast

A number of years ago, Microsoft released the final (I think) version of Microsoft Money for free. (just checked - v4.0, from 1995). I used to use it for its amortization schedules, until I found something better. But it should do what you want, and it's free (and legal), if you can find it. I found my copy online several years ago.
