Updating Carbonmade's Finances

I've felt that Excel is the best software for managing finances for a while, but feared the scorn of more 'savvy' geeks. It's nice to see that I'm not alone.

It's easy, yet completely flexible, and it doesn't hide anything from you. I really think it is the best desktop app Microsoft ever created.

All of that data entry of already digitized information ah!

Never used it, but is Mint a possible solution? I used to be a dev at a financial data aggregation shop (pretty much mint for wealth managers, wouldn't be a good fit for Carbonmade) so I understand the problem pretty well, and also understand the solution.
