I heard about Quicken (the personal finance software) long time ago. Last fall I decided giving it a try because I felt it’s harder to manage my bills and payments manually. My goal is to view all my banking, credit card activies, phone/utilities/home loan bills, and pay them in one place: Quicken. If possible, I would like to manage my investment, asset/liability, tax too.
Nine months later, my original goal was not quite accomplished. I still go to individual sites for the activities and bills, set a reminder in my Yahoo calendar before the bills due, and pay them when Yahoo send me the reminder. Pretty much manual process. Besides I am too cheap to pay Quicken for the “online bill pay”, and I was a bit slow to learn “Quicken”, another reason is I can not get away from old way of doing things, which obviously worked.
