Microsoft Money - Get organized!

Or do you have an actual office in your home, but it sort of becomes the place that you just throw all your bills into and shut the door? Do you always feel like pulling all your hair out rather than sit down and pay your bills? When someone asks you about retirement planning, do you cringe?
