I just stumbled about a stackexchange question about personal finance software:
"Possible replacement for Quicken", http://money.stackexchange.com/questions/3070/possible-replacement-for-quicken/3080 > I have been using quicken to track my financial life for about 10 years now and am generally happy with it. A couple of years back Intuit changed the ability to download stock quotes for 2 years maximum. After that 2 years you need to buy the next version of Quicken. Not cool since the features I use have not changed in about 5 years. So my time to renew is coming up in a few months and I need to determine if I can use something else of just buy Quicken again. > > Here are the main things I use Quicken for: > > Schedule bills and deposits in the calendar view so I can keep an eye on cash flow. > Track all my stock and mutual fund investments across numerous accounts. > I manually enter all my transactions so I can keep control of them. I just reconcile what I entered into Quicken based on the statements sent to me. I do not use Quicken's bill pay. > I categorize all my expenditures for help come tax time. > I use numerous reports including. Net Worth tracking, Cash not is retirement funds and total retirement savings. > > My question is there any other tools (online or not) that would allow me to replace Quicken and not miss a beat? If I could import my Quicken data that would be a bonus. > > I was interested in mint.com until Quicken bought them. Now I am not sure if they're any different then Quicken. Thoughts? (It is not my question, I just stumbled upon it.) Since I am personally using ledger and in order to support the Ledger project, I wanted to suggest using Ledger. But I am unsure how Ledger fulfils all the needs listed in the question. I therefore bring the question to your attention... Maybe somebody can come up with an answer that explains how/if ledger would be a good alternative to Quicken? thx, Johannes -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
