Great price. About half of what Intuit wants for the same thing.

I'm a repeat user, so pretty much hooked on Quicken. I like how easy it makes managing my personal finances, by making answers to tax questions a matter of running a report and answering questions on "when did we?" or "how much was?" so easy. I DO wish that it was easier to tie in my investment accounts to download current market values and transactions. Still haven't been able to manage that.

I am a long term user of Quicken. Just like everyone else, I am angry about Quicken now forcing you to subscribe every year in order to use their on line tools. The For me, I really only use the one step update to download quotes and investment information. I didn't mind upgrading the program every 3 years. But to pay what they want every year just for this service is frustrating to put it mildly. Before I made a switch to another program (Empower, for instance), I saw Qucken Classic one year subscription on sale at Best Buy. It was important that the product description for what I bought did not say "for new users" (others do). Also, it was not a digital download but a physical box that I picked up in store. The box did not contain a CD as in the past however. I did succesfully upgrade my subscription for one more year simply by opening the existing version on my PC and, at the top where it said my membership had expired, I clicked on "Activate". This took me through the steps to enter the one-time-use activation code that came on a piece of cardboard inside the box. After I entered the code, I received a green check mark, I clicked on "Activate Membership" and all seems to be working. I verified by updating the program (which I had not done in over a month) and viewing Help->manage my subscription. It shows I now have another year. Sorry for long review, but I wanted to outline the steps to confirm to other users such as me that this activation path works so you can purchase a new one year subscription while on sale.

I've been using Quicken for nearly 30 years and it's a solid product excellent for keeping close track of all your financials. The desktop version for Windows has a ton of features for tracking and reporting and functions well even with a huge data file. I wish the MAC version came closer to the Windows version though....and I could do without the new subscription-based pricing.

I have been using Quicken for years and I love being able to print out expenses, net worth, investment accounts, account balances, etc. with the click of a button. It is easy to use and reports are simple to generate.
