Dustin - If you are interested in tracking expenses by user-defined
catagories, just grab any dbms (like dBase) and set up a few fields like
ck. no., date, payee, amount, and catagory.  Once your check register(s)
are loaded, you can just sum by catagory.

I have been doing this for about 5 years and it works like a champ.
(The only problem comes up when my wife says things like "We spent
HOW MUCH at the supermarket last year!!!???")
