What's the best way to keep track of your spendings as a couple?

Question

I'm looking for something that my wife and I could use to track what we spend our money on every week. Something where we could just enter the amount.

Love Splitwise. Been using it to manage expenses with friends for eons now. It is extremely nifty, I love the reports and alerts functions. Works well with friends, and I've had a few couples use it too, to manage their expenses.

The same situation, I've been testing this for weeks, but I don't like it at all.. 
Awesome question, also I am looking for solutions:)

Jesús Darío · Answer

Splitwise has monthly expense reports that can be used for that purpose, even though it may not be the best to portray this kind of relationship, since it will portray expenses as "debt"

I use Next. This has as far as I know no partner accounts, but a really solid iCloud sync. The interface is really awesome and made for easy expense tracking on the go. The statistics are detailed enough and for cross reference I use the excel export to feed that into my bank account managing software.
