I may have sounded sarcastic with my response, but in a way I wasnt. A small notebook to keep all your spending would be best. I swear there is something magical when you write words to a piece of paper, and that magic is gone when you type on a keyboard. By the sounds of it, cheaper too

I use expensify. Have 4 expense sheets per month. 1 personal, and 1 for each of my businesses. I like that better than giving out my info; etc to mint. Cash, bank balances, and accounts payable are tracked through Quickbooks.
