Website tracking your money

Safron414 · 14 May 2012 at 13:22

Hey
I'm looking for a website that helps you keep track of your money income/outcomes. It has to be an online feature because I move around a lot so a simple Excel sheet doesn't really suit the needs. My bank doesn't have anything like this online.
I've seen websites like these before, they became popular a few years ago. My Google skills fail though

Have they died out? What are you using to keep track of your spending?

your bank doesnt have online statements and a page that shows all your direct debits ?

It does, but it doesn't show "this month I spent xyz on food, and abc on stupid ****e"

Then use excel and keep a record of what you spend......how on earth is website going to track your spending without you telling them what exactly you are spending money on....

Lloyds TSB has money manager. I remember something like Sage could download your statements and analyse them for you but I think this feature was removed.

Other than that I have no idea.

Spreadsheet on a USB drive?
Spreadsheet on some webspace uploaded somewhere?
Spreadsheet on your smartphone?
Spreadsheet emailed to yourself?

Use an online spreadsheet?

Google Apps or even MS Office Web Apps

I did...I see no reason why you can't use excel....you have a phone do you not. Plenty of apps that will allow you to use an excel document.

Exactly.

If you send me your sort code, account number, password and pin number I'll whip up a great excel spreadsheet for you.

Google Docs or Skydrive.

Seconded, although it only sorts it by different types of stores you spend at (so if you buy an electrical item from Tesco, it'd show up as Food) but it's still quite nice.
