Great way to get your finnaces in order
I have been using Qucken since 1996 where I found the benfits to be well worth the price for the program.
This product is great for anyone who wants to get their financial picture in order and get a jump on their income taxes. This is a totally customizable program which allows fro the greatest of ease. This sinthizes well with your previous yeears editions no matter how long ago you perchased the program.
If you are new to quicken, it is great to help you keep track of everything from Stock, to paychecks, to investment, bills, credit cards, anything. You can create categories, add new accounts and enter ongoing repeated events such as your paycheck. You can assign a tax status, create sub accounts and split transaction for better documentation. Most can be done on the fly in the regesters for greater ease.
While the paycheck feature is still in its infancy (for 10 years), it does not allow an hourly employee to enter the hourly wage; hours worked or overtime information which makes it a pain to enter these amounts. Don't let this discourege you though, it is still complete. I like how you can track your investment and your net worth. The get out of debt feature is realistic if you stick to the plan.
Quicken allows you set and view you budget and even set parameters to warn you weather you are over budget or under budget. This is a great feature to keep you on target. This gives you an accurate picture of your financial status on a daily basis. The reports are easy to read and understand.
The calendar feature is great because it tells you when items are due, pay date and other information. The automatic reminder system is the best help so you don't forget those important bills that are due.
You can download you bank statements, credit card statements, and loan information for even grater ease. I like the new feature where you can scan documents directly to the line item so if you are ever audited or need the information, it is right there for you. This makes record keeping easy and kills the paper tiger. You don't have to go looking in a file for it. When we started this, our household paper work was reduce and actually helped us clean up our house.
The new features (from my 2004 edition) were significant and made a real difference in the way we do our finances.
I would recommend this to any one who needs to get organized and financially fit.

Excellent product that keeps getting better
Maybe there's a benefit to waiting about a year after a version is released to allow Quicken to revise and debug. No problems, crashes, issues whatsovever. Easy install... immediately recognized my prior version (2005) and upgraded it. Account layout easier to navigate now..especially like the button next to a transaction that automatically shows you prior payments to a payee. Online interface enhanced and works flawlessly. Another winner from Quicken...
