Financial planning is important, but most people don't do it on pieces of lined paper at their kitchen table anymore. Instead, they use financial planning software on their computer and come up with lists and spreadsheets and goal trackers. But, which options for financial planning software are the best ones? Actually, that depends on what you're looking for. Financial planning is a very individualized process based on your family dynamics, the amount of debt you have, how much income you have coming into your household, and other factors.
Whether you own a small business or are only dealing with personal finances will also affect which financial planning software you'll want to use. Read the requirements of the software carefully, and pay close attention to what kind of financial planning it really offers. You don't want to spend your money on something that won't give you the information you need. Be extra careful if you own and operate a small business, because financial planning software for personal use isn't going to be enough for you. Don't waste your money on something you can't use - financial planning takes careful attention to detail.
