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.

I use libreoffice calc. I don't manually enter stuff though, I just export csv from my bank web interface. (I don't use cash much, so am not worried about tracking those few transactions)

I'd probably be too lazy to use anything that required me to update it for every transaction.

That's what we do too. Calc works great.
