 Better than Money March 1, 2006

I've been using Money 2002 since it came with my laptop. I decided to upgrade to Quicken 2006 Premier and it's awesome. In typical microsoft fashion, I found Money to be quirky, hard to navigate and the general interface to be not pleasing.
I have seen some people post complaints about switching from Money to Quicken, but I had no problems and switched 2 checking accounts, a savings account and a retirement account in 15 minutes. The only reason for me to keep money is for a record of old transactions.
As good as this program is, don't pay $80. Google it and you can find it for less than $40; less than $30 if you do a little research.
A Pleasant Surprise February 26, 2006

I wasn't very happy at being forced from Quicken 2003 by the sunset provisions. But with the $30 rebate for Turbo Tax and Quicken purchased together I was able to get a good bottom line price for an upgrade to Quicken 2006 Premier. Now I'm delighted with the asset allocation feature of Premier. As a believer in asset allocation of one's investment portfolio I was finding it extremely difficult to mechanize in practice. A single mutual fund frequently includes several asset classes in various proportions. Quicken automatically looks this information up for you, along with all your individual stocks. In addition, Quicken allowed me to easily enter the asset class breakdown for my savings plan at work. Now I have a complete view of my investment allocations and can make appropriate adjustments going forward. As a DIY'er I don't think I could have solved this problem by myself without resorting to the on-going expense of a financial planner. This upgrade was the best $30 I've ever spent.
Much better than Microsoft Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! August 9, 2005

I had used money for years. I had heard the stories about quicken and was scared to try it. I had been using money 2004 and was not happy, so I got the courage to try quicken 2006. It is much easier to use than money. Unlike money, eveything on quicken is easy to get to and easy to use. And unlike money, you do not have to pay to use some of its services. I will be with quicken for a long time!
Definitely worth the upgrade November 9, 2005

Just installed Quicken Premier 2006 last night, and so far I can say it was definitely worth the upgrade. I think Intuit did an excellent job of streamlining the reporting functions. Just much easier to navigate and figure out what data you want to view. The feature within the register of viewing payment summaries of different merchants and categories is also very nice.
As I have not yet set up my investments (a project for this weekend) I cannot accurately comment on this portion of the program.
In summary, the overall functionality of the program is pretty much the same, so if you like your existing setup in Quicken then perhaps you don't need to upgrade. But for me personally I've always thought the interface in previous versions of Quicken was a little busy, and so this upgrade to what I consider to be a much cleaner, more streamlined interface was worth it for me.
And by the way, I was able to find a full version of this product (CD only, no box or manual) online for $23... which was a bargain too good to pass up.

This product has been improved in a number of ways. One is improved reports. There are many other improvments which enable you to easily obtain information,e.g., seeing the average payments of a bill by placing your mouse over an icon. This program gives you about all the information you can imagine regarding your money and investments.
