Question: What are the best resources for personal financial planning and organization?

I'm wondering about books, web sites, software, magazines, etc. We have Macs at home, own rental properties, currently keep finances on customized spreadsheets in Appleworks. Would like better sync with online banking for a more comprehensive and integrated picture. Also want to have a comprehensive source for information so that we consider all the key elements of our finances without letting things fall through the cracks.

Answer: Having a Mac makes it hard. There are few money tracking software packages that will work with your computer. Do you have bootcamp or anything that you can use to run quicken off of windows?

As far as books/sites, I have a resources page that, while still under development, has some good starting suggestions: http://www.personalfinance101.org/resources.html

Good luck!
