Does Exactly What It Was Designed To do

Pros: Home Budget (HB) is the perfect application for our household budgeting requirements. I have expensive high-end accounting software for my business and that is what is needed for full business accounting. But that type of software is unnecessarily complex for the relatively simple task of setting up and tracking a household budget.

HB is simple to set up, simple and reliable to use and it does exactly what my family needs, to maintain control over our family income and expenditure.

I downloaded several other shareware applications and none were entirely suitable for what we needed. I downloaded HB, tested it for an hour or so and then went ahead and purchased it online. (Version 4.06)

I have since transferred our existing (paper-based) household budget to HB, imported a QIF file from my online banking, tweaked some budget amounts, setup and executed Scheduled Transactionsand and printed out several reports and graphs. All processes worked flawlessly.

In my business, I employ a bookkeeper. In my home, I don't need one.

Home Budget is an excellent application.
