I have used excel spreadsheets for years to keep track of my finances and have been quite happy with it, but I wasn't really aware that there was software out there that made all of that tracking that I do in excel more intuitive and easier. I just had a run-in with Microsoft Money, which I found out is now discontinued and than remembered about quicken. Does anyone have any experience with this software or know of any other alternatives? I'm not looking to run a small country with it, just manage my personal budget.

 

My dad still uses Microsoft Money 2006. He's been using it for a long time (since it came out), and had been using an older version of Money before that. He runs his own business, so he has a few bank accounts and a ton of finances to keep track of. He likes it, so I would recommend it.

He's not all that computer literate either... so it must be easy to use, he figured it out himself. That almost never happens. lol

 

ive used quicken while i had my laptop... dont have my laptop anymore.. and my finanaces suffer...

 

I'll throw a vote in for Quicken as well. My dad uses that for his business, and it seems to work pretty easily for him.

 

There's word that intuit wants to discontinue quicken...

 

i have quicken gene

 

is it really worth it to go to quicken from excel?

 

should be easier to manage...why arent you in the char?!

 

I dunno... I felt there was something missing today, but now you actually told me what it was :-D I forgot about it.
