Forget those ledgers and account books, in the era of web 2.0 everything can be done online and 10x better. The following is a list of social sites that will allow you to manage your personal finance as well as learn and share with others.

Geezeo Confessions - Visit Site

Think of it as the twitter of personal finance. Besides just tracking and managing all your financial account from one dashboard, Geezeo also allows you to share any confessions you may need to spill.

Did you spend more than you planned to? Are you late on your payments? See what other problems users are facing. Hopefully you learn you are not alone, and maybe together you guys can learn how to fix it.

Wesabe - Visit Site

A easy to use financial dashboard, Wesabe allows you to set budgets, goals, and learn how to save and avoid financial blunders.

Tag your purchases to get advice on how to save on future transactions. For example, you can tag your grocery purchases and then receive targeted advice on how to save money on future grocery shopping.

DimeTracker - Visit Site

Probably one of the worst parts about tracking expenses is saving those receipts until you can log the purchase. By the time, you are ready to mark it down, the receipt is long gone. If you paid with cash, then your best bet is to try and guess what the price was. DimeTracker lets you log your expenses through your cell phone.

Text message your expenses and then create budgets and export excel spreadsheets. Stats can also be shared through various social networks.

Foonance - Visit Site

Think of it as Wesabe for people with less physical accounts. Not everybody has 10 million different accounts. Some people just keep their money in a drawer or other unofficial ways. Foonance allows you to set up these so called “money stores.”

Tag expenses and see exactly where many of your purchases are going.
