 It earns me money every month, but may cost jobs at the mall January 1, 2008

I blew money out the door for so long, I accepted it was the nature of personal finances. Balancing a check book was impossible with that little paper register the bank gives you. Things are just too complicated in real life to cram into those tiny blocks. This Quicken software made me money from the first month I used it, even though the paper checkbook experience had me in a skeptical mood to begin with putting it mildly.
I like having all these options and categories, and the ability to split expenses (thats right, when I go to the gas station sometimes I buy more than just gas, can you believe it? But I still want to know how much Im spending on just gas). What else, ok I owe a little to my parents, ok a lot really, and I pay it back in complicated ways, per how life is. Sometimes I buy something they need like more memory for their computer, or a flat screen tv, or car tires. In Quicken I make an account that is what I owe them, and every thing I do toward paying it off I deduct by having a simple transfer category. For the car tires tag them with my transfer category, and it credits that account for me, reducing what I owe. I use the same trick on my online saving account, the one I keep extra money in, and its not connected to my debit card or part of my normal bank to protect it from my splurges.
I back up my computer, for this and my other stuff on my computer, that you should do like checking your oil, brushing your teeth, washing behind ears, and so on, so accidents are minimized, and Ive had a few but not with Quicken though it wouldnt matter anyway. If you havent learned to backup maybe not a good idea to use a computer for much beyond surfing and email. Otherwise give it a whirl. According to this software I will me a multimillionaire by 2099 ^.^, but they may have to layoff at the mall(:D

Family members have used old (2000 - 2002) versions of Quicken for years. Wanting to get a handle on my finances, and running Vista, I purchased this product. I installed it and it would not correctly download my bank accounts. After many hours and 4 rounds of emails with customer support - I decided life was too short. I was pleased that the product has a 60 day money back guarantee, so it's going back and I'm going to try Money, in hopes that I have better luck. This product never worked correctly, and became more unstable with time - within 24 hours of installation it failed to download transactions at all and made my screen flicker. Customer support tried to be helpful, and sent me an email within 24 hours each day I wrote them. I wasn't excited about paying $25 for help with my new program, so I didn't call telephone support. My advice: run.
Quicken gets worse with each version--I'll never buy it again July 8, 2008

I've purchased at least eight versions of Quicken and I will admit I only used them when I absolutely had to. Now, I really need the kinds of features that Quicken claims to have and I am extraordinarily, completely and utterly disappointed. The interface has gone from mildly annoying to completely opaque and illogical. I am happy to say Intuit/Quicken will never get another dollar from me. The lowest rating I am allowed to give this program is a single star, negative stars would be more appropriate.
