What my wife and I do is pretty basic. MoneyWell and our financial info files reside on my MacBook Pro ( backed up a lot ) and we get together either once a week or two and get the checkbook in order. She likes having the paper register, not trusting just having the info only on the computer. So she takes the receipts we haven't entered and writes them into the checkbook, then I sit with her and enter them into MoneyWell giving her the balances. I then go to our online banking and reconcile, telling her any transactions for which we didn't have a receipt. I realize this is pretty stone age, but it works for us. Since we sit down and do this fairly regularly, it doesn't take too long. We also tend to pay our bills at this time too. It's like an hour max. With MoneyWell, she now sees a better picture of what we have left to spend in our spending plan, much more so than when we were using MS Money and it's balance forecasting.
