Get A Budget On Your Mac And Dump Quicken.
Encore Review: Every year for the past five or six years I’ve run out to buy Intuit’s updated version of Quicken.
It’s shipped free with new iMacs but I’ve probably paid a few hundred dollars for something that just balances my check book. I need more. I need a budget. Budget. Budget from SnowMint.
I looked around and there’s no shortage of check book applications for the Mac. Intuit’s Quicken is the big name, but it pales in a feature comparison with its Windows.... (excerpted).

Does Budget download checks written and bank statement info from your financial institution and reconcile same? For credit cards as well?

Budget works on Leopard as well, with no issues. It does reconcile your accounts (which Quicken has become very poor at doing).
I also use Quicken to print out very detailed information that I can’t get out of Budget. But I use Budget to actually budget my money, Quicken could never do that well.
