All of them have vague and conflicting answers: There are a few threads on the Quicken support forum that ask the same question. lots of people spend that much on coffee in a month. I suppose in the overall picture, $90/year is a minor blip to get such a good integrated view of my finances. OTOH it costs annually about as much as a monthly cell phone or internet subscription. Quicken's annual subscription seems expensive compared to what Microsoft charges for an entire Office365 subscription. data file into the latest version, or will they no longer support import of versions as old as mine. Also concerned if I have a technical problem and it stops working, will I be able to import my existing Q. Don't need that much, but archiving in Quicken does not seem that functional. I have transactions going back >25 years. But I have concerns abut how many transactions and how big of a data file it can support. So I could get by on my current version of Q2014, maybe forever. Investment performance is better done in excel or the Bogleheads spreadsheet. I can track cost base for investments in or excel. I do like the ability to have bill reminders, calendar view of upcoming expenses so I can ensure I have enough cash to pay bills, ability to see past expenses like when did I last buy tires/glasses/how much has my insurance cost changed, what's my investment income, etc. I only have 10 holdings so that as well is not onerous. I am not a big spender so manually entering and reconciling is not too much of a hassle.
I used to download transactions, but I always entered them myself in advance then used the d/l transactions as a comparison. The annual subscription was about as much as the previous non-subscription version that lasted 3 years before being sunset. When Q2018 came out with the subscription mode they basically tripled the price. I am still using Q2014 Home & Business, so it's been unsupported for 2 years now.
All seemed okay so I clicked.Īs promised the page states Upgrade now to get all the latest features.
I don't often click through links, but I hovered over it first to make sure I understand where it was taking me.
