Money Management Tools
Quicken
I have been using Quicken since 1997. I have tried others along the way, but never find anything as good. It can take you from just starting out to doing advanced investing techniques. I use this not only to manage account reconciliation but also for budgeting and some tax planning. I currently use the Premier version.
Excel
Why am I listing this? Because I use it. A Lot! Over the years I have created tracking and calculation spreadsheets for various purposes. I have three that I use regularly. A broad overview one where I track things like goals, yearly reviews and more. An investing specific one where I have formulas, rules and performance metrics. Finally a retirement savings one to track withdraws, conversions and contributions. This helps keep me clear on what I can use on my FIRE journey and when. (I have a video on what you need to be aware of with FIRE and your retirement accounts.)
