Default Home finance software

Can anyone recommend a piece of software that can be used for keeping track of home finances such as bills, savings accounts, isa's, bonds etc.
Something along the lines of Microsoft money which i'm led to believe is no longer on release.

Thanks
Nik.

Unless you have vast assets or complicated business cash flows then a piece of paper and pen and some head scratching should do the trick

Microsoft Excel?

There are plenty of pro-forma sheets out there that a simple google search will turn up....

Money 2005 (UK Edition) still works really well. You need to find an install with the 1105 patch built in as the patch server that used to send the update out is no longer online. See here

And if you want something different, here is a comparison
