<prompt> Human: Hey all,Really just getting started into having my own career and making some actual money. Not sure if I should be using quickbooks to keep my accounts balanced, but dont really understand what it is good for and if there are other alternatives that are superior for just a small family personal finance. Looking to PF for some help!  <response>: I say dont.I use mint.com for my budgeting and goal setting.Some will suggest YNAB to ya here too.Both seem good. Mint you have to come up with your own plan but it auto pulls your transactions from your bank accounts.
