So I'm considering just using excel to keep track of all my expenses and income, but is there a better solution? What do you use to track how you spend money? I want something from which I can freely export the data if need be so excel is tempting.

Upvotes and a reply because gnucash does it all.

The one GnuCash weakness is cost basis accounting. I use LibreOffice Calc for that.

Technically it can do some of that but it often not general enough.
