Anyone have a good open-source alternative to Quicken? So my parents use Quicken and love it, but I'm cheap (and a bit strapped for cash). Does anyone have open-source money management software they can recommend? Specifically, I'm looking for something like Mint or Quicken Online (pulling data from my bank account and credit card and making it into a pie graph), but software-based, because no matter what it says in Mint's TOS I think submitting all my bank passwords to a website is ludicrous. That being said, I realize that doing the same thing for software is potentially just as risky, which why I'm hoping for something open source.

Mac switcher / Intuit hater question: Is there a good alternative to Quicken for the Mac? My wife just got me a new MacBook as a pre-Valentine's day present (yes, she's awesome.) There are obvious equivalents for all of the applications I have on my old desktop (running XP), except one: Quicken. I know there's a Mac version of Quicken, but from what I hear it lacks a lot of the functionality of the Windows version. I also know that I could run the Windows version via Parallels, but that doesn't appeal to me for two reasons: a) the only reason for me to install Parallels/XP would be for Quicken, which makes the whole thing rather expensive, and b) over the last few years I've come to hate Intuit with the proverbial heat of a thousand suns just as much for their product-sunsetting, privacy-invading ways as for their insecure software. (Bastards.) So Quicken in either form is right out.

Quicken: If you're unmarried but living together, how should you answer the "are you married question" when setting up Quicken? My fiance and I are setting up Quicken on my computer. We'd like to use it with both of our various accounts (right now everything's separate, though soon, I'll be added onto his checking account/joint). The wedding isn't until 2007 (and hence not in this tax year). When you go to set up Quicken, it asks if you're married or not. If you answer yes, it lets you enter in information for your spouse. If you answer no, it only seems to be able to accept the one person.

What is the best version of Quicken for Windows? Is there a consensus on what version of Quicken for Windows was the best? Currently I am using Quicken 2000 under the Classic environment on OSX, but if I switch to an intel-based Mac, Classic doesn't work anymore. I figure that I might as well run Windows under Parallels to get some Quicken action on a future intel Mac. Google reveals that 2005/2006 are pretty much Teh Suck. Actually, I'm interested in a version that's old enough that it doesn't 'phone home' all the time. This is mainly why I'm interested in a Windows version as the OSX compatible Quickens for Mac, being newer, are probably profligate mothership-contacters. Also it would seem that the Mac versions are generally behind the Windows versions in terms of features.
