It's a good fit for me because it's easy to upload/download things between it and Google Spreadsheets. I agree, however, that the interface could use some serious work, but I do like that I can IM-to-Xpenser and such. Hi :)

I think, too, I am a bit OCD as well. But I prefer to look at it as a hobby; I truly enjoy playing with numbers and "what-if" scenarios. I enjoyed the 3-part serious of budgeting software. There was only one - Buxfer - that I'd never heard of. I went ahead and checked it out. Not too bad. ColumbianCoffee, I have to agree with you that I am not overly big on the social aspect of financial aspect. If I was to use one and become active, socially, Wesabe is truly nice. We're all different, however, so we have to do what's right for us because in the long run, the end goal should be how we come out of it regarding our spending vs. our saving.

Except, some services get better over time or become better as the user adjusts so it's hard to review them within a short period of time. I'm sure this post will be a good resource; it's always hard to know which one will be the best fit and I bet not everyone will want to try them all out like you were willing to! We’ve been forgotten! :(

I honestly don't like the social aspect of budgeting and finances, I think it should be mostly private, but that's me these were great reviews and confirmed that I made the right choice for me.
