    Thumbs up Pear Budget~Free budgeting site

    I heard about this through a blog that I read & thought it might be a really easy way for those of you who are just starting out with budgeting, to do.

    It is a free site, but you can sign up for a 'membership' for $3.00 a month, which I don't.
    I just use the free software that they offer.

    It's very easy & simple, which I liked and then you have the option of printing it off once you're finished putting all the amounts in.

    Hope this helps someone else!

    This is wonderful and a very useful tool for me. Mahalo!!

    I've spent a couple hours playing with it. I think it's great! I love the sinking fund in there! It shows what the account balance should be, as sometimes you might over spend in one category one month, then less the next, but it balances out. Love it. I think it would be worth the $36/year!

    I'm glad to know that some other people thought it was cool as well.
    I just loved the simplicity of it.
    No frills, just easy to understand.

    I was just looking at this the other day. I don't think it's free anymore, it seems you have to pay the $3 a month now after the free trial is up.

    I've heard some great things about it, still unsure if I want to spend the money for it. I would also love to hear from anyone that is currently using it!

    I dont use that but I use Free Personal Finance Software, Budget Software, Online Money Management and Budget Planner | Mint.com. I can use it to stay on budget and if I know I am getting close I stop spending.
