While plugs are being made for financial software, I purchased Managing Your
Money about three weeks ago, and find it an *excellent* program. I haven't
tried out MacMoney, but I have tried out Dollars and Sense, and MYM has a 
superior interface.  It covers just about anything you might want to do with 
your home finances (I use it for tracking checking accounts, home purchasing, 
expense accounts, stock purchases, mutual funds, tax estimation, cash flow
projection, net worth evaluation) in a very intuitive and straightforward 
manner. The "author" of the program (Andy Tobias -- he basically wrote up a 
wish list, and had others program it for him) is available for support on 
CompuServe, and responds very quickly to questions.

The cons: it is the most expensive of the lot (MacConnection: $129), and does
not have the same liberal upgrade policy as Survivor (they offer the "Deluxe 
Support Package" in the box for an additional $49, which entitles you to 
one free upgrade). 

Disclaimer: I have no connection with the makers of MYM, I am just a satisfied
			customer.
