| I need to balance budgets, keep track of my portfolio, etc. I would like to know personal experiences with financial software. Any worthy free (open source) applications too? I have looked at Quicken, Peachtree, Microsoft Money, but I don't understand why they need to release a new version every year (ie Quicken 2006). Do laws change so often? Why do I have to upgrade every year? So do people feel cheated when they have to continually upgrade year after year? Is it worth it? Sorry, to sound like a cheapskate, but, as a consumer, I don't think it's necessary to pay an annual fee for such a app. I've read about GNUcash and it's a cool open source app, but not easy to install. I'm not a newbie computer user (i helped built this Answers site), but I don't want to spend extra time configuring a less mature application. |

|  PeachTree is probably the most common right now http://www.google.com/search?q=peachtree+accounting GNU cash is an open source one. I have no idea why they have to renew each year. http://www.gnucash.org/ http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=Akacm33Wz_ibSx153oMkcK3py6IX?p= accounting+software |
