Its hard to see anything simpler than going to your bank's website and using their system.Ģ) Keep track of transactions - This made sense many years ago when my transactions were mainly paper, a lot of them sent through the mail, and the update I got from my bank was monthly (also through the mail). I will end my rant with the following summary of what Quicken (and its alternative) do for you (or at least what I have had argued to me that it does):ġ) Simplify on-line Banking - Really? I use on-line banking and have for years. The generally accepted truism is that if you have money or use money (applies to all of us) then you have to manage it (reasonable enough) ergo a Money Management Software package makes sense (this last part I disagree with). I say this as a long time Quicken user, after that MoneyDance (but for the last 5 years I am clean-having gone cold turkey on the Money Mgt software). unless you are a business and need the accounting support, what does Quicken (or any replacement) do for you that you really need done? IMO looking for Quicken alternatives is akin to looking for Buggy Whip replacements. Click to expand.My 2cents worth (I tend to make this same argument everytime the subject comes up, so ignore this if you have heard it before).
