Quicken and the future ?
Discussion
Ive been using Quicken 2002 for homw finances for pretty ever, and Id be lost without it.
Intuit abandoned the UK a few years for some strange reason. I think some people use Quicken 2012 or similar, byt that has Dollar set as default. Im led to believe that can changed, and that version "should" be ok later OS.
It looks likely that it may not run on WIN10 and onwards and that concerns me greatly.
A google suggests that there isnt really mnay alternatives out there, and TBH, I would rather stay with Quicken as I know how it works.
I know some will suggest an Excel set up, but Ive no experience using that software really.
Others may suggest a VM running Winxx, but Im not sure Im tech enough to do that.
Any suggestions for going forward ? My Pc will need replacemene pretty soon and Im concerned about my financial controls.

Very close to what we do - except in reverse. All day to day stuff comes out of the current account but we pay a lump into a savings account monthly and that get used for surprise bills etc whilst building up nicely.
I guess ive got used to the way it all runs in Quicken and dont want to change really.

I'm running an even older version of Quicken. I can't remember the exact date but it's definitely from last century. A year or so ago I upgraded my computer to one running Windows 7 and it wouldn't touch it. I found there was some sort of XP virtual machine built into Win7 though, so I fired that up and my Ye Olde Quicken is still working fine in it to this day.
I think this is the least painfull way to go tbh.Gassing Station | Finance | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
