I really feel that Mvelopes is on the right track with their product. Although it allows you to track your finances and pay bills, it differs quite a bit from the way Quicken and Money work — especially with budgeting. Rather than waiting until you’ve blown your budget to tell you that all you’ve got in your pockets is some lint, mvelopes goes the old fashioned route whereby you “pay yourself first” by putting money into virtual envelopes. All of your expenditures are then paid out of these envelopes. If they didn’t charge a monthly fee, I’d definitely be all over this site. However, I’m sure someone reading this blog is out there looking for a unique and effective way to manage their finances. This might be the ticket.

I have developed a web application to help that lets you keep track of your expenses, and is very similar to what you described. It’s called MoneyGroove, http://www.moneygroove.com.

Check it out.

I wouldn't post this here if it weren't directly relevant to the post, but PearBudget is right in line with what you're looking for. The web-based version hasn't launched publicly yet, but will soon. I've sent an e-mail with more info.

I just stumbled upon http://www.dimewise.com/ yesterday. I have nothing to do with it, but it sure looks like a "simple, beautiful personal finance app".

I firefox-esque quicken would be pretty awesome. Someone should get on that.

I’ve been thinking social software + investing might be a good idea. Something like netflix, where you can see reviews, ratings, feedback from other humans who have watched the movie.
