Upgrading to windows 11 laptop. Wife has used quicken for years - but it is no longer available to just purchase.  It's all subscription based now.  Daughter used mint, it's no longer published. Quicken isn't terrible for the first year, but doubles the second year.

Our finances are not complicated - probably be fine with a spreadsheet and importing csv data from the bank periodically. As much as anything she likes to verify transactions and watch for fraudulent charges - which she has found on occasion.

Any recommendations?

I'm comfortable with excel, wife not so much and she pays the bills.

Moneydance or GnuCash.

Although, we always seem to just come back to excel.

A shame Microsoft stopped supporting MS Money, some mainline competition was good for Intuit / Quicken.

There are free personal budget templates for all of the spreadsheets - Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. I don’t like spreadsheets, but the templates are easy enough to use.
