For the post today, I’d like to highlight some tools you can use to organize and keep tabs on your finances. I recommend using some sort of program to organize all of your finances. It can give you a good overview and details of where your money is going. The more you know about your money, the better decisions you can make.

You can take advantage of several software programs. I use Microsoft Money, but others have found success with Quicken. Both of these programs allow you to track your finances in multiple accounts, as well as sync with your bank’s online services.

You can also subscribe to free online services. Mint and Quizzle are two online portals that allow you to keep track of your personal finances. There are some unique things that these services provide that some of the software programs do not. For example, on Quizzle (sponsored by Quicken Loans) you can track your various assets. It tags your home and gives you an update on the value of your home. It also gives you a grade in various areas of finance to give you perspective on how you are doing in your finances
