I was going to write a full review of MoneyWell and its use, but I’ll leave usage to the very excellent video tutorials provided by No Thirst. It’s this approach to money management that Maggie and I had actually been looking for. In that way, you are somewhat forced to live within your means. If you go over the amount you’ve allocated for that bucket, and you don’t want to go into debt, you have to pull money from another bucket to cover your overage. The amount available to that bucket goes down as you spend it until there’s nothing left to spend. As you spend money, you assign those expenditures to a particular bucket. To do this, MoneyWell uses “buckets” for allocating income to spend. MoneyWell takes an electronic approach to an old way of managing your money: the envelope system. It turns out, by trying to find an exact replica of MS Money, I was looking for the wrong thing. I started researching the product to see if maybe, just maybe, I could finally stop booting Windows on my Mac. I thought I was going to have to run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine so my wife and I could track our finances forever and it didn’t feel right.įast forward to mid 2008 and I’m listening to the MacSB podcast and they had an episode titled “ Battling Big Iron Software Companies as a Micro ISV” where the host “Scotty” interviewed Kevin Hoctor of No Thirst Software about his relatively new product MoneyWell. Either they were missing scheduled payments, balance forecasting, or just had a terrible user experience. They all fell short in some aspect of what I needed. I’ve tried Quicken For Mac, iBank, Cha-Ching, Moneydance and Horizon. ![]() ![]() MoneyWell | Pbur's Adventures Pbur's Adventures The life and times of Patrick BurlesonĮver since I switched back to the Mac, I’ve been trying to find the “right” financial management software to replace Microsoft Money 2000. ![]()
