We used Quicken a long time ago when we lived paycheck to paycheck. Once the kids were grown up, and moved out on their own, we discovered that our savings account grew faster. Not sure why, but we stopped using Quicken.
Then a few months ago, hubby got back into Quicken. We love it. He hopes to retire next year, and this is helping us make sure we stay on budget.
Excellent! I’ve got detailed spending data and we have been cutting in a lot of areas. We are still drawing down savings and investments at more than our target of 4% per year which is worrisome. But we are still 55% in equities and the stock market returns have been good for us.
