Another software that is similar is Quicken (which I use). You can also use an online program like mint.com (which is free) to track your expenses.

If you know someone who is proficient with excel it is easy to use for tracking costs once set up, and can be tailored to your specific needs, as well as updated when you like - for free :)

Exactly, MS Excel - or any alternative to it - is more than enough for personal finances. If you want a ready software with templates for everything, then use a specialized personal finances management software, if you have some time available, and a bit of knowledge of Excel, you can setup a great template for personal finances management for yourself, without all those things that you don't need in specialized programs.
