We use cash, for day to day expenses (groceries, etc.) and we keep the receipts. All recurring expenses are paid through automated online banking. I track everything, down to the penny, in GnuCash daily (this way, it takes me 5 minutes at most, going through the receipts). Having a clear financial picture has helped us a lot with finding unnecessary money leaks. We now have a nice budget and money to buy things, when we need to. Haven't switched, yet, to modern smart phone thingies.
I originally started with Quicken. Then I learned to use Quikbooks (double entries). Then I switched to GnuCash which I've been using for 10 years.
