What is the crowd's opinion of Quicken?

From 3.5 billion comments

Or you could, you know, earn it and stop being jealous of what others have. The economy is not a zero sum game. Invest, invent, or develop something. It's completely possible to retire a millionaire on modest means.

FYI, that isn't Intuit's support number for Quicken. Google the number and you'll see it doesn't lead to Intuit. If you need Quicken support, you can chat with the team here:

The one thing I would recommend is putting your salary into perspective. The median income in America per person in the US is $26,695 (http://www.mybudget360.com/how-much-do-americans-earn-what-is-the-average-us-income/) Now, think about it what does median mean? It means that 50% of Americans are earning less than that. You are earning 33K so you are above the Median. Yet, yet, yet, 50% aren't guzzling down water to overcompensate for hunger. So, how do they do it? Well, how you ask? The median household income is $50,000 so you have a two income household but, but, but you are not married so how do you replicate the benefits of a two income household with only one income? Well, you get good roomates who can split the cost of rent and utilities. So, what does 33K look like per month: it is $2,500 per month before taxes. Let's assume taxes of 300 per month, so a 2,200 (you'll know when you get your first pay check how much is deducted for taxes.) Well, here it says you should spend no more than 25% of monthly income on rent ( http://www.quicken.com/how-much-should-you-spend-rent-when-budgeting) so, in your case that is 550.00 per month. Maybe you can go as high as 700.00 but I would not go higher. So, you are going to need roommates; the reason the average American isn't starving is because they have a spouse. Welcome to the new economy.

That's the latest edition, I am still using the 2013 edition. It's basic, but it does full reporting, schedule E, tenant info, lease info. I don't know anything about appfolio, it may be better, but for me I was already used to using Quicken for my personal finances so it was easier to just upgrade to this edition.

Ja nisam nasao nista sto radi OK sa vise razlicitih valuta, tako da pravim sam svoju aplikaciju.

quicken je OK: http://www.quicken.com/personal-finance/quicken-2016-mac

YNAB nije bas los, ali radi sa samo jednom valutom.

Za android koristim https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.code44.finance ima podrsku za vise valuta i accounta, nema podrsku za budzete ali je dobra aplikacija za logovanje transakcija itd.

So in my opinion, the design itself feels pretty dated and intimidating, which I hate to say, makes me just want to leave. There's just way too much copy that I can see why people would just leave right away. Your hero image isn't helping either. It's kinda spooky and ominous, not to mention poorly designed with copy on it you can't even read (up top).

Here are a couple of quick examples of more modern/current designs id suggest checking out to see how much more effective simpler designs might help you.

You'll see some of the same design principles throughout. Minimal copy. Big and clean images/iconography/typography. Welcoming/friendly/current.

Hope some of that helps and good luck!

So everyone is informed, this isn't an official support number from Intuit. This group may be helpful, but they claimed to be Intuit in another thread, which isn't true. If you want to reach Intuit's Quicken support, you can chat here:

Hi MrBackpfeifengesicht,

I work for a credit union. If your goal is to keep your financial data stored locally, you may be surprised to learn that one-step-update doesn't do this.

Intuit, which owns both Quicken and Mint, has four ways to pull your data:

"WebConnect" or QFX file download Your bank or credit union's website creates a QFX data file containing your financial transactions. You download this file to your local PC. The Quicken software on your PC loads your financial transactions from the QFX file.

"Express WebConnect" or "One Step Update" The Quicken software on your PC asks for your username and password. Quicken software shares this with Intuit servers. Intuit servers connect to your bank or credit union's website using "screen scraping" and download your financial transactions. Then Intuit servers send your financial transactions to the Quicken software on your PC.

"Direct Connect" Your bank or credit union has an "OFX server". You give Quicken your Direct Connect username and password, which may or may not be the same as your online banking username and password. Intuit servers and the OFX server talk to each other using OFX language for Intuit servers to download your financial transactions. Then Intuit servers send your financial transactions to the Quicken software on your PC.

Mint.com The Mint website asks for your username and password. Intuit servers connect to your bank or credit union's website using "screen scraping" and download your financial transactions. Then you work with your financial information through the Mint website.

I'm confused by your question, you can do this already. Most people I know have both a checking and savings account. Typically everything is deposited into checking and then amounts can be transferred into savings at your discretion. This can typically be done online at any time, funds can be transferred back into checking at anytime. As far as I know people have been doing this forever. At my bank at least these accounts cost nothing. Transfers to savings move money away from your debit card at any time.

If your question is about a convenient way to budget, pick up Quicken or something.

Edit: Just thought of this. On my online banking page funds can be tracked based on categories that you can set up, bills can be paid via electric check. Pie charts and everything.

Quicken software can be used to record and track your transactions, and you can download info from online banks into it. There's a mobile app that coordinates with it if you want to use it on the fly. But it's not free.

Some reviews suggest the cloud syncing features are not robust yet. So you can decline the cloud features when you install if you want to be more in charge of when and how often you update your info on your computer.

Look at the feature list at the bottom of this page:
