That's exactly why I went to a spreadsheet. I found myself downloading my bank info, then never balancing it. It was way to easy to just trust the software. Oh look, another pretty graph....nap time.
If you're lazy like me, forcing yourself to take a more manual approach can be a good thing. My accounts have been perfectly balanced since I started and I feel I'm controling my finances better then I ever did with Quicken. One way works for one person, another way for others.
Plus, if your goal is to help reduce spending, not paying for upgrades every two years is a good place to start.
