Personal finance software

[Wilson]

What is the best kind of software for personal financial stuff? I want to be able to download the info from my bank and keep track of expenses. I've tried Quicken and Money years ago... have they gotten easier to use? I'm fairly computer literate, but this kind of stuff isn't easy for me. Help?

I'd recommend Quicken, Quicken or Quicken

Me too!

Quicken is easiest.

Wow... I didn't expect such agreeableness lol. Thanks! Quicken it is!

I hope Quickbooks is just as user-friendly because I have to buy it for the church. They have a non-profit version that keeps track of contributions, etc.. necessary for a church.

We are currently using a piece of junk software that crashed (for the third of fourth time) and lost ALL data, including the member database, finances, contributions, attendance, etc.. Now, I have to go back an re-enter ALL of this stuff manually again into a new program. Ugh.

I have never actually used it but Quickbooks is the most popular software amongst small businesses so it will probably be fine.

I use Money, it is much easier than it used to be. Our bank now gives the option of Quicken or Money, but it used to only use Money. I have used both, but prefer the Money version I have now.

Hmmm... I think I'll do some online searching today and see if I can download trial versions of both. Thanks!

Oh no!!!! What a PITA!!! I'm sorry to hear this :(.
