Quicken-like personal finance software?

Marion Wieboldt: Mint.com was useless for me - so I fully agree.I used to use Quicken - same problem you had - so I quit using it.I found a freebie software program on the net.Called AceMoney Lite.The Lite one is free to download - had it for years now.The version you have to pay for allows you to have more than one checking account.(I do not tie this to my checking account - I input the check register manually).It's a pretty cool package but not as good as Quicken Personal.It has the check register, and it shows you pie graphs and charts of where your money is going.It also has a budgetting tool - which I do not use - since I'm a saver - not a budgeter.I miss Quicken though.It's only 26.82 at walmart.comhttp://www.walmart.com/ip/Quicken-Starter-Edition-.../...Show more

Moises Rupinski: It won't be their last release. Where do these silly rumors start. Quicken is the best personal finance software out there. But if you insist on getting something different, try Micr! osoft Money. But not as good.

Lue Podewils: On line banks use mainly "Quicken", "Quickbooks" "Microsoft Money" and "Excel Spreadsheet" files to download to your personal banking software.If you want your accounts to "update" on line automatically, you need to have software that handles one of those types of files.Otherwise you have to do everything manually which is a pain in the rear. Quicken is not usually the problem when it's acting quirky. Banks and financial institutions continue to find new ways to protect unauthorized users from getting into bank accounts. They seem to change security measures faster than Quicken can respond. And some of them now use multiple layers of security making Quicken automatic update pretty much impossible....Show more

Emery Blando: Neither of those. MoneyWiz for Mac is the best :) The rest are old apps designed years ago using old design principles. If you want something modern, just check MoneyWiz out.

Minh Lefrancoi! s: ~~I have heard people who use Money like it, and Peachtree ! ( I can't say it's the same as Quicken), but people like it.I don't think Intuit is going anywhere. It's the largest and most popular bookkeeping software on the market. I can say they have really made me angry over stunts they pulled, but I use them because of the business pro software is what we need. They decided to make everyone upgrade (I did not need to as the version we use does everything we need. It was over $500 to update). This was no big deal to stay with our version, but they stopped our program from being able to bill invoices by email (which was why I had updated to the version we use), I called headquarters and could not get anything changed.I think they need to have a class action suit for this type of trickery to make you update. We found a way around it, but that is no way to treat customers. I have had them since the the early 90's. So if anyone better comes around I would drop them like a hotcake, but for right now they seem to have the best on the mar! ket.~~...Show more

Dedra Furguson: Have you tried the Microsoft Accounting software? They have a free version as well as a purchased version. I used it for a while and it works quite a bit like Quicken.
