So I'm considering just using excel to keep track of all my expenses and income, but is there a better solution? What do you use to track how you spend money? I want something from which I can freely export the data if need be so excel is tempting.

    Same, but Excel for me.

    I haven't tried automated solutions, only manually putting stuff into a spreadsheet and it works great for me. Lots of automated calculations and such in there though so I can get stats at a glance.

    It takes me an hour or so each week, plus an extra hour each month, plus an additional hour each year (since I update certain things monthly and yearly), but it really helps me stay on top of my budget/financial goals etc.
