Financial Alterations

A semi-daily blog where I ramble about my financial situation. And talk about what stuff I've found out through reading blogs, other websites, and books.

More info please...

Ok, so I got behind on my blog. Sorry.

Looks like we are moving forward on the new house. Talking to our real estate agent today to get things moving. Seems like moving is the right thing to do now.

Looks like homes in our area are in that bubble that everyone keeps yammering on about. Prices are too high for how much house you get. It's good for us selling our house but not so good for us buying a new one.

Also, I'm thinking about switching to MS Money. The reports in Quicken just completely suck. No matter how much I tweak things it never gives me the correct data in the reports. We run into the same thing at my office with our helpdesk software, Track-It!, that is also made by Intuit. Anyone still reading this that has used both Money and Quicken and have an opinion on it either way?

    I've used both Quicken and Money and both programs are only slightly acceptable. I've had more problems with Money than with Quicken and I'm now using Quicken fully. I wasn't able to wasily convert all of my old data from Money, however. That's a project for when I have a week with nothing else to do--that will never happen.

    thanks for the comment flexo. I guess I'll stick with Quicken for now. It's not perfect but I guess it's works well enough plus I've spent way too much time getting all the categories entered correctly.
    Now if all the online financial and billing places would just move on from using QIFs I'd be in good shape (since Intuit has almost completely phased out their use in Quicken).
