Initially, I started with Excel but then found something else readily available. Now, I use <a href="http://www.gnucash.org/" rel="nofollow">Gnu Cash</a>, free accounting software. It is awesome and doesn't take a lot of effort to get started. It is very easy to use as well. Maybe you could try it sometime. Thanks for sharing this.

If you can afford it, you can, and should, hire a Portfolio Management Service that will invest your money for you. This is just a quick and dirty method. You need to spend time to understand it, but actually executing it is not much work.

The first step is to update the sheet titled Transactions. If you are like most people, you probably have some investments already.
