I have been using Quicken to pay bills online since it was a DOS application which dialed up to Compuserve. It has been a rock solid product ever since.

However I have been wanting an online version for years. I actually trust Quicken to keep my data safe more then I trust myself, and I have about 5 workstations – being able to access Quicken from all of them (even under Linux!) would be a godsend. The Mac version aint so great either (it cant even import windows version files – wtf!), so Im sure Mac users will appreciate it.

Also the exploding options of downloading bank data and paying bills online has been way too confusing for years. Hopefully this will be easier to manage, since I assume Quicken support will be able to view my accounts, etc. if I need them too and recommend what to do.

I’ve also used MS Money a few years back after having done Quicken for several years. I actually liked it more than Quicken because I thought it was better organized.

I used Quicken way back years ago and I liked it. However, for some reason I had switched to MS Money and I am so used to it, I can not go back to Quicken. I tried once, but just did not like it as much.

I do not have a good feeling about having my finances online, so I will never do them that way.

I just started using Yodlee a couple days ago, and I LOVE it. It’s a good blend of simple and advanced tools to keep track of purchases. It also has a cool budget tool where you can set a budget for specific categories of purchases and have it email you when you reach a certain % of that budget. Awesome!

Been using Quicken for home finances since Quicken 6 or 7 for DOS… back then, converting from my Lotus 123 sheets was a challenge. I’ve been steadily upgrading ever since — right now, I can review about 12 years of activity in my Quick Windows.

For my side business, I use the free MS Accounting 2007 Express ([ideawins.com]) and have been pretty happy with it. I got tired of of the QuickBooks “shake-down” every couple years.

My dad is a financial planner and has instilled in me since the beginning to use Quicken.

I couldn’t live without it.
