| And you can't set this up why? Best Method: Schedule two Loan Payments, one on the 1st (or whatever) and one on the 15th (or whatever).

Look at the payment schedule per account. Delete the interest cost from the total paid, and you know how much you're saving. I just did that today on an AmEx Blue Card 0% x 12 months, no fee transfer. It's saving me a few hundred on a car loan I transferred to a 3.99% life-of-loan offer. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

| I currently have MS Money 2000. I've purchased Money 2004, but switched back to 2000 because I didn't feel that much was improved. As I'm investigating Money 2007, there are still features missing that I believe it should have. 1) the ability to set up bimonthly payments for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, etc. Paying bi-monthly can drastically reduce the interest paid over the life of a loan. 2) an easy-to-use balance transfer/consolidation simulator. it would be great to simulate projected savings and effective interest rates when considering balance transfer senarios. For example, it would be nice to simulate something like, Credit Card A has a balance of $5000 at 8%. Credit Card B has a balance of $5000 at 0% for 6 months, but a normal rate of 18%. It would be nice to simulate if it would be better to pay as much as possible on Credit Card A, because it (temporarily) has a higher rate, or to pay as much as possible on Credit Card B because all of the money would go to principle and allow one to reduce the balance as fast as possible. As Money is now, it automatically picks the highest interest rate, even if a low rate is only temporary. I'd like to see numbers for both. 3) similarly, regarding no-interest/no-payments offers to set up one "pay in full" payment at the end of the special financing term, without being prompted to make monthly payments during the no payment periods. I bought a fridge at Sears under one of these promotions. Because there is zero interest, it makes more sense to keep the money in an interest-bearing account and just pay it off at the end of the promotional period. The ability to set this up in Money would be useful. 4) the ability to assign multiple interest rates on one account. As with balance transfers above, different portions of credit card balances are subject to different APRs. Accurate financial planning requires that Money account for this. 5) the ability to store scanned receipts or online confirmation pages in an account ledger. So if I buy a book on Amazon with my checking account. I would be able to click a link in the checking account ledger to view a copy of the confirmation page from Amazon. Similarly, if I buy a bag of dog food at the grocery store, I would like to scan the receipt and be able to view it. This wouldn't be a bad idea for checks either - you could scan it just before sending it out. This would eliminate the need to keep paper copies of everything, and make it much easier to verify the accuarcy of ledger entries. Downloading things from the bank is useless if it's the bank's amount that you believe is incorrect from what was originally on the receipt. Just my two cents. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
