TOPIC: Looking for budgeting software

I'm looking for suggestions for budgeting software.  Of course I want cheap and easy but here's what I'd like it to do.

I want to setup all my fixed expenses as monthly budget items (whether they are monthly or not ) like in an envelope system.

As I make deposits throughout the month, I'd like it to automatically fund the expenses.  When they are funded, I can pay myself!

Having never done this, I don't know if what I'm asking for exists, or if I'm thinking about the process all wrong.

I welcome your suggestions!

Quickbooks is the only solution I'd trust. There's even a free version that works for many.

Ever since the days of delivering the morning paper as a kid, I have been planning a budget.

I just use Excel or Microsoft office and set up a spreadsheet.
It is free!!

It has worked well for me.

Like others said Quick books is good but some minor costs.

Bob pointed this out to me the other day and it looks like a good program. Check out www.gnucash.org/ . A free alternative to Quicken.

quick books pro will do everything you want and has really easy pie charts to see where you spend your cash, it should have been called  accounting for complete dumb asses.
I use it and believe me I am a dumb ass when it comes to keeping track of reciepts and accounting, this does great, prints out p/l each month and does the accountant print out each month for me to make sure i am doing it right.
i would look into this
