My humble opinion:
For $99, Quicken is your best bet(or something similar). Unless you
are thoroughly familiar with spreadsheets and have some basic
bookkeeping experience, setting up your own program is not for you. I
have done it, but only because I started well before accounting
software was available for Mac. If you have someone do it for you, you
will be at their mercy forever.
Excel or Numbers have templates for personal finances up to the cheque
register stage, but that won't satisfy the Feds (no sense of humour at
all).
