One other thought: there is an unofficial FAQ for the newsgroup at
http://umpmfaq.info. It has essentially no "beginner's tutorial, though
adding one has been considered from time to time. But once you get over the
"light bulb" moment of understanding at some level how to use Money, it
might be a useful resource.

1) Create accounts in Money that match real world accounts (like "Checking"
or "VISA Card") or just something simple like "Pocket Cash". These are
analogous to your checkbook register.

2) Go to the account register and enter transactions that match your
spending. These are analogous to checks entered in the checkbook register,
but have additional data like the reason for the spending
("Automobile:Gasoline").

A step-by-step tutorial is impractical in the newsgroup. Have you read the
on-line help? Used the setup wizard? Watched the introductory help videos?
Looked at the sample data file? All this stuff is installed with the
product. If none of that gets you there, you could look at
http://www.microsoft.com/money/info/tour/ or the resources at
http://www.microsoft.com/money/support/manual/. There are also several
"...for Dummies" kinds of books. Try http://amazon.com.

I have Microsoft Money 2003. I just started using it.

I want to enter in all my expenses. For example, Postage expenses for
September 2, 2004 were $20.00. That same day, gasoline expenses were
$15.00.

Can someone explain how to do this, step by step?

Thank you in advance.
