“What does balancing a checkbook even mean? (insert sarcasm) I have an app for that!” – Tiffany Even though we don’t write it down, we still keep track!” – Sara This helps us stay on track with the budget we set and what we save each pay period. “I don’t balance my checkbook, however, my husband keeps track on an app on his phone daily, and we are always in communication what all balances are at for our checking and savings accounts. I pay all of my bills at one time, and everything is charged to a credit card, so most everything is done online.” – Chelsey “I don’t – our water bill is the only thing that requires an actual check and it’s paid 4 times a year.

However, I do monitor all my transactions online since so much of my spending is on my rewards credit card – just so I can catch something if a payment or account balance looks off.” – Emily “I write one check a month for rent, and all other bills are handled online, so I don’t bother balancing a checkbook. If we do write a check, it’s easy to see if it clears online.” – Lina “We write maybe one paper check a month, so no. I do keep a small list of the checks I write (and their numbers when I do have to write a check), so I know what to keep a lookout for when it clears online.” – Amber S. I always stuck to my Dad’s mantra – and while it won’t work for everyone, it has for me: Never spend more money than you have.” – Jamie Let us know which you choose and how the experience goes for you.Here’s why team members DON’T physically balance their checkbook: A newer version of Quicken might not do so well in Linux, so your mileage may vary if you try this method.

And I think I can still make this old version run in Windows 10 if my wife needed it, but I have not tested it yet.

I do not use it to update online with banks, so I don't know if that feature would still work, but it does everything I need for typical home checkbook chores. It's ancient now, but it runs fine under PlayOnLinux. My own solution was to keep using Quicken Deluxe 2004. You may can even find some templates online to get you started, but I haven't searched any out. Building your own checkbook register can make it as simple or as complex as you want it to be. One of the links above reminds us that LibreOffice has a powerful spreadsheet application (Calc), and that it can be used very efficiently as a checkbook program too.

If my wife were to take over the checkbook duties again, she could install HomeBank in Windows and we would probably have a fairly smooth transition. If I were going to switch to another program, I would definitely be considering HomeBank again. It is a simpler program for home users, but still very functional. I did like the HomeBank program fairly well when trying it out. KMyMoney, as I recall, did have a nice user interface though. I think KMyMoney also uses double-entry accounting, but I have not used these in awhile so my memory is pretty dim. But I never found that to be very comfortable for me and for typical home use. If you run a small business, or if you're an accountant/bookkeeper, you might appreciate GNUCash and "double-entry accounting" methods. A couple of "best of" summaries to give you an idea are here and here.
