GNUCash is a GREAT program. The only possible drawback is if you're not familiar with double-entry accounting. In the event that you're not, I did a quick google search and found this: http://www.ncsysadmin.org/july2001/ncsa-gnucash-talk.html It's in-depth and specifically geared towards gnucash and double-entry accounting within gnucash. If you don't care to get that into depth with double-entry, here's all you really need to know to use gnucash. Other money management programs (e.g. Money, Quicken, etc) assign a category to each entry you make. In gnucash, you do the same. The only difference is that every "category" is actually a separate account. If you want, you can always look at any individual account (say, Expenses:Auto), or you can just ignore them and only really worry about your checking and savings accounts. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
