Since Microsoft is terminating Money, I've been looking around for a replacement, and so far it's just a whole lot of fail. I tried both GnuCash and MoneyDance, and not to put too fine a point on it, but they both suck. Quicken doesn't offer a free trial, as far as I can find. They do offer a free online version, but I just can't get comfortable with giving all of my credit-card logins, much less all of my financial data itself, to an online service. (This is the same thing that has kept me from trying out Mint.) I guess I'll keep looking.
