What software do you use to track everything?

We use MYOB simply because we were already using it for our business.

A good ole Excel spreadsheet does it for me...
Excel and scan all bills etc to PDF
I Use Quicken and excel for some tasks
IMHO Cant in fairness compare them though as excel would be the most exciting software ever made but it is really only as good as the person designing the particular spreadshet.
Quicken, myob etc in contrast are ready to go "suites" of ready made inputs and outputs, enabling many reports, graphs etc, simply by entering your particular data.
Both very different

I voted for excel although I actually use open office which is indistinguishable from excel & free.
I voted 'Other Software'
For the Linux savvy, we use gnucash for all expenditure tracking.
Might have to change soon to Quicken or MYOB since thats what the accountant uses.
Still investigating.
We use whatever spreadsheet application is handy (like gnumeric, excel, open office, etc) for all those 'What If' questions when projecting into the future; like 'What If interest rates climb to 20%' or 'What If we can not rent a property out for 6 months'

Excel here...collect data from all over, then dump it into excel to "refine" it. It's 100% customisable, can add new data, new fields anytime, and if laws / tax rates change, dont need an upgrade or new software!

HI IloveProp,
Yes that thread is useful thanks. Theres actually a lot of good threads discussing software - but as Im trying to decide which one to use myself I though a poll would give me a clearer picture of whats most popular.
Im suprised to see so far just how popular excel is, and how small a % have voted for MYOB which I had thought from reading various posts was a lot more prevalent.
Thanks

Hi
I voted Exel because I use it for just about everything but truth be known pen and paper and the trusty calculator is probably what I use for most of my thinking/planning. Exel is used for existing investments records etc.
Perhaps I should become more tech savvy. Must get around to buying PIA - seems good for the planning/decision stage.

Hi Grant
I think the best way to choose
is google for property management software
go to the sites
download the demo software
try it for 30 days if you dont like them
just unistalled
