It was a revolutionary program, reasonably priced and worth purchasing a computer if only for Quicken. It can be very involved, and downloading account figures vary, it seems, with each financial institution, but can be figured out IF you want to spend the time to do so. MINT may be the solution for that problem in QUICKEN, but my data managed in QKN is in my PC, not out there in cyberspace. That is a concern. I have been using QUICKEN for over 17 years.

Unfortunately Quicken is a bloated piece of junk that hardly works most of the time (by hardly works, I mean that the online account sync never works for my bank). I have looked into several alternatives, including Mint (I've had an account there for several months). Yes, the potential privacy risks are concerning, but more annoying to me is the lack of certain features, such as creating offline accounts (to keep track of cash, loans, etc), along with a few other missing features. However, the platform does show promise, and the more annoyed I get with Quicken, the sooner I hope they add some new features.

My wife and I also have the syncing problem, so this looks to be a great solution to it. We'll check it out, Sebastian Joe -
