Simplest way would be to create a spread sheet to track what you wan to track. Next step up would be Microsoft Money or Quicken when things get a lot more complex. Not free but definitely not expensive for what you get. Quicken package deals with Turbo Tax also cut the price further.

I have used Yodlee for about a year. I don't use it for budgeting, but I do use it to get a single overview of most of my finances and accounts. I am satisfied with the security. It was a lot of effort to enter all the information--site logins, passwords, and security question answers. I got quite a few "error alerts" for a while when some login changed or bounced the automated access, but after some corrections along the way, Yodlee is keeping all my information up to date.

When I log in, I get a one page overview of all expense and asset account balances, outstanding bills, recent transactions, house value, and net worth estimate. I really like the single point overview. I can recommend Yodlee if one is willing to invest the up-front time to set it up.

For personal budget accounting, I am using a free download named jGnash. I started with Quicken and switched to Microsoft Money somewhere along the line and liked it fine. When Microsoft stopped supporting Money, I researched alternatives to paying a substantial sum for Quicken. I tried GnuCash, but didn't care for it. jGnash seems more intuitive although it is slim on features. What I like is that it is Java-based which means it is a lightweight application that doesn't install on your computer. You just put the executable plus support files in a folder and run the executable program. The data files are really small compared to Money or Quicken. I keep my data on a removable USB flash drive and run the program on two Windows computers and a Linux computer. The same download works on any computer that has Java installed (which is usually with your browser). Plus, free is good when it works, and it does for me.
