Hello guys,

I am just trying to put together all my (monthly) expenses. Currently, I am doing it on a paper, but thinking about alternatives.

- Excel
- GoDaddy bookkeeping

How do you track your expenses as personal, as (I am interested mostly) the business ones (like payments to copywriters, designers, programmers, etc)?

There are a few options that work really well - one is Quickbooks as it caters to the small businessman and most bookkeepers can interface with it for you for taxes.

Waveapps is free and considered one of the best free accounting processes available.

I'll keep with the whole "IM Forum" theme, and suggest a WP plugin

I haven't tried it personally but it looks pretty cool.

The good old Excel does the job for me.

Well, if you're mostly interested in keeping track of your payments to copywriters, designers, programmers, etc., then Excel would be ideal. You could search on Google for a template and set it up as a budget to make sure you're not spending all your money.

I am just checking the app (for iOS, there's "Money Lover Money Manager" for free and "Money Lover Plus" for $4.99) and it looks good! Playing with that, thanks for the tip.

i use my calculator. lol
obviously i make an excel sheet for month and write down all my expenses but that's only the way of recording it. i know many ways should be there to track your expenses.
i am billed monthly on my credit card. that's better for tracking. hhhhhh
