All the people who use Money and have no idea how to record data or
what exactly it means to manage personal finances will get absolutely
nothing from their purchase of the product. Simply uploading or
downloading from banks or credit card companies into Money does nothing
but waste your time. Either learn how to benefit from using the product
and YOUR BRAIN or dump the product. JMHO as a 10+ year user. Steve

If I had to update my mny accounts manually I would never pay for the
application. Otoh, placing my data on a MS server is lame and I would
never pay for an application that required me to do that either.

Since all my financial activity is online I want a method of
consolidation and an increase in my productivity. As long as Mny does
that I will use it. It need not do anything else it attempts to do
except the account summarys for the total picture is nice to have.

Try Money with manual data entry. That's worked pretty well, if "slower" and
requiring "more effort", here for more than a decade.

First, 3 of my accounts update only once a week, sometimes once every 2
weeks. It used to be daily/on-demand. Very inconvenient.

Second, it wouldn't let me undo a change (I changed a transaction type
from withdrawl to transfer). So I restored from backup, thinking I could
start over. My gut feeling told me this was too easy, and I was right:
It wiped out the online update settings for the 3 aforementioned
accounts. I tried setting them back up, but of course that didn't work
for whatever reason.

I am so tired of this. Are there any Money alternatives that would suit
me better?
