What people are saying about Budget:

"Just wanted to tell you folks how much I enjoy using the program Budget. I'm a self employed professional musician and find Budget to be a fantastic tool in keeping my finances on track."
- Toby Walker

"Thanks for the fine program, and much more to my liking than Quicken was. The Envelope system of accounting is much more natural for home budgets as it allows you to explicitly set aside money for an expense (obligate it) rather than just list it in a tally sheet."
- James Ackermann

"I am a dedicated user of Budget. I hope you never stop updating it, but even if you did, I would continue to use it as long as it would run on my computer. There are no alternatives that I'm aware of ... Quicken 2000 (and 2001) are trash. They don't even allow you to keep track of accumulated money from month to month. And their technical support is the worst I've ever seen. In contrast, your program and the support you offer are the best I've ever seen."
- Dewey H. Hodges
