 Do I still own this product? June 27, 2006

I started using Money in 2005. It is a great idea if you ask me. Instead of having to go to 10 different websites to view all of my financial information, I can let this software download all of the info automatically, tell me when to pay bills, pay bills, and budget all in ONE interface. Fantastic.
When I installed 2005 I had some problems. I finally got everything synched up and working well for about 9 months or so. Then I upgraded to 2006. Guess what? All of the same bugs in the setup. Everything was scrambled. I figured I could overcome because I was now an experienced user and had seen these problems the year before. I put things in order, or so I thought, and used it about 2X before it became useless again. I finally gave up and no longer use the product at all really. Wonder if it is even still on my computer...hmmmm....
Anyway, another user gives lots of advice on how to make this software work, and I haven't really tried to follow it. If I were to try again, I would take a look at his advice on not getting a passport, not downloading from Yodlee, etc. Or maybe it's just easier to not get Microsoft Money, since the automation functionality will all be gone if you do these things. (Not slamming anyone here. The advice is sincere and useful from the other user- I just have a different opinion).
In order to download all of the info from each individual website by hand, instead of using passport/yodlee, you have to log into each site by hand, and download the file. You're just as well off at that point to download it into an excel file and pay your bills from your bank's website.
I love the idea behind this software. I just wish it worked.
 most frustrating program ever December 22, 2006

To be fair - I probably don't use this the "normal" way. I like to print checks. This seems like basic functionality. I used, supported, and written software that does this. But I have never worked with a program that was slower, less intuitive, nor more frustrating than Money. Since I have considerable data in it I keep trying (originally I had high hopes for it). There is no other program that can get me to curse at it - except Money. Unless you are forced to ... try something else ... anything else.
Money 2006 Premium October 24, 2005
J. Stark (Washington DC)
Have used Money for several years and recently upgraded from Money 2003. The data conversion appeared to go well, but the program "lost" several reporting functions. The graphics and "reset" buttons on the report customization menus are grayed out. However, graphics in the 'Monthly Report" and in the lifetime planner work fine. MS suggestion was to create a new file and then export each account individually to the new file. With 125+ accounts that would be absurd. I did set up a small trial file with some minimal data and found all graphics functional. I still prefer the 2003 version but cannot go back now.

The product is excellent. It is much more user friendly than earlier versions.
 I love my Microsoft Money 2006! September 22, 2008
S. Barkeit
I see there are several reviews on here that don't favor this version of Microsoft Money. I have had mine for 2 years and it's my financial BIBLE! I love it. No, I dont use Passport and post my financail information on a Microsoft page.....so if those comments stop you....don't listen!
I am a 43 old woman, self employed and crawling out of debt. Having this tool has helped me 200%! I recommend this product to everyone!
