Quoted: So Im trying to get all my finaces squared away, keep track of bills, work expenses, etc.
What computer programs would yall recommend?

What do you mean by work expenses? If you are self-employed then you might be better served by a true double entry accounting package that is still easy to use.
Quickbooks seems to have the concensus for ease of use there.
As for personal stuff, I have seen and used several and find
Microsoft Money to be the easiest to use and learn. It also has a very cool cash-flow forecast tool that will look at trends and give you an estimate of your account balance on a given day depending on what bills get paid when, etc.
Good on you for wanting to get a package. For the measly $20 you can get MS Money for you can't go wrong. I believe that everyone should run their personal financial life like a business, and tracking where the money goes is a great start.
