Reputation: | Use Microsoft Money, it is easy to use because it's made for regular people not computer whizzes. Its not very expensive(especially if you buy it with the other Microsoft programs exp. PowerPoint, word, publisher). |

Reputation: | I started using Quicken Premiere & Business 2008 last September. I also downloaded Microsoft Money for a trial but Quicken just seemed more intuitive (no pun intended). Now I have all my accounts maintained in Quicken and I have just started using their home inventory manager to keep a better track of my net worth. |

Reputation: | Do either of these(Money or Quicken) have options where you can make graphs to track your assets/liabilities/net worth? It's something I've tried to do with Gnucash, and all it offers (afaik), is bars. Graphs just look better, especially when Net worth keeps going up a good amount |

Reputation: | my hubby uses microsoft money. I just use Google spreadsheets, though I do have to manually put in formulas and create graphs. I like to keep it simple, though. So I just total up my networth and keep track of expenditures.

If you're looking to get Willmaker Plus as well, it's cheaper to get everything from Intuit directly as they bundle the two together for the retail price of Quicken alone. | |
