I've used GnuCash. It can do most things, but I certainly wouldn't call it
intuitive. There are other possibilities, like Kmymoney, though I don't know
anything about them. Perhaps some other member has tried them. If not, I'd
be willing to try something out and report back. I'd be doubtful about
recommending GnuCash to a sighted person unless he/she had both accounting
experience and determination.
As for the privacy issue, the general recommendation for any accounting
application is to set up a test account that can be played around with. Most
accounting programs can handle more than one 'company', so I'm assuming that
this is true of the home-accounts packages. If not, it will be possible to
temporarily rename Michael's own files and start a test account.
I'd be willing to help research the possibilities, although I'm going to be
away for the next few days.
