personal finance budgets


I am not an android or Mint user but still skeptical about my money and the information which I am making available by using internet which is still vulnerable due to some brilliant mind who explore and penetrate technology on a 24×7 hrs basis.And when I read the User agreement with MINT this is what I found..Its a service which of course FREE but you have HUGE RISK associated with the same. No offence but a little skeptical because of being involved in penetration testing.

I've been using previous interations of Quicken for 15 years and have grumbled and spat over them the entire time. Intuit is just a lazy and mediocre (some might say lousy) Mac developer, period.

But inelegant though Quicken has been, it manages to do what I need, and after so many years, there are a few small features that we've come to rely on that would really be missed if I switched to iBank or MoneyWell. So against my ideal preferences, I've stuck with Quicken 2007.

Now I'm looking and QE and wondering if it's worth it or not. I don't use or need most of the 'missing' features (bill pay, portfolio tracking, check printing, etc), but I'm really on the fence about it.

Which brings me to my newest grumble about Intuit:

WHY IS THERE NO DEMO VERSION!?!?

To me this is further proof of Intuit's complete disconnect with the Mac user base. They continue to come across as oblivious to our expectations and needs, year after year after year. They are frustrating beyond belief. The day iBank adds a calendar feature, I'll be ditching Quicken for good. But until then, I'm waffling on QE.
