Comments on: Quicken vs Money http://www.getchabug.com/Jon/blog/archives/2005/01/24/quicken-vs-money/ I am a software engineer by day. Other times, I do other stuff. This blog is my collection of both sets of experiences.

This is very handy as it saves me a lot of manual entry. I can understand if someone doesn't use the online stuff that the level of functionality in Money 2005 may be overkill. I don't really use the budgeting features yet. I do like the ease of generating certain types of reports -- it is as simple as right clicking on an entry to generate a category report. This wasn't nearly as easy in Quicken. We have several accounts that allow online downloads of account activity. This is very handy as it saves me a lot of manual entry.

I use Money now as it was installed on this computer when I bought it. We also talk about it quite a bit on the Frugals. We say it is THE video game for frugal women. I mainly use the check register and run some reports. The budgeting function is way too inflexible for me. I also don't download my data from my checking account. I may do that if I ever set up a new version. Right now I am running Money 2000. And the stock market stuff seems more trouble that it's worth. I can get daily updated information elsewhere and I don't have to in put divdends etc... But for what I do with it it is useful and easy to use.
