I have been using various versions of Money over the last few years and upgraded this year on the flip of a coin - the alternative being Quicken, of course. The reason I flipped the coin was the 2002 version of Money, which seemed to have a whole load of bugs in it. It simply didn't do what I asked it, ie add things up properly! The present version of Money, however does everything I ask it to and more.
If you are thinking of using this program be aware that to get the best out of it, you need to put a massive amount into it. Every penny you spend, in fact. Along with details about your mortgage, car, child.......... You can get a good deal out of it without this detail - but it will still ask you!
Detailed it is. Quality it is. Simple it certainly ain't!

I was just about to fall into the same old trap of buying an upgrade for a software product that I had come to respect, Quicken, but thought that a more diligent survey of accounting software was in order. It was a timely e:mail extolling the virtues of Money 2004 and the offer of a trial that persuaded me to take a quick look; and I’m glad I did. I shall expand.
All software products these days come with a simple installation program, but the excellent characteristic when doing a competitive upgrade (i.e. from Quicken2002 to Money2004) is that the transfer of data is complete, the balances are exact and the account reconciliations are accurate. We saw this with the Money2004. Not only was the data automatically located, all the accounts were imported perfectly. The balances compared precisely with the final printout we made from Quicken. But most importantly was the staggering improvement in usability. Locating information was no longer the trial-and-error guesswork; the graphical displays were clearer and lead to better reports; and, the layout of the information was markedly more intuitive.
The introduction of automated financial news on the homepage is gimmicky, not entirely useful if you’re interested in such data as a matter of course. But tying up your financial portfolio with near real-time prices is much more useful in that respect. The automatic download of statements from banks and credit cards is much harder to do and I’ve only managed to get one account working so far, but I expect this to increase as banks become more familiar with supporting these type of universal products.
The 2004 tax add-on is useful though I don’t expect I will find out whether it is valuable until we come to fill in our tax returns next year. Obviously time will tell whether the product has good future proofing. I expect (and hope) there will be a steady stream of automatic upgrades and improvements in functionality, but the product is precisely right for what we want to do now… so it certainly gets my vote of confidence.
All in all, Money 2004 is a breath of fresh air after Quicken.

I've used Quicken for many years and although I was happy with it, Ithought it was about time I tried out Money to see how it compared. Wow,what can I say? Inputting the information is easy and logical but it isthe reports that push it over the edge. They are far easier to prepareand hence much more useful. I agree with some of the other comments thatit is a shame that all UK banks do not support downloading informationinto Money (or Quicken) but that is not a reason not to buy it. I suggestusers contact their banks and tell them they want the funcationality! Idefinitely recommend buying this product.
