There are other ways. That's one. Download the free trial version for hands on. If you choose to buy Money, wait a few months. The new version generally comes out in late summer. There is neither an upgrade discount, nor protection for recent buyers of the old version, when the new version comes out. The trial is good for 90 days, I think, so it will cover you until the new version is released. All data entered in the trial version is good for the paid version, current or future. Also, get a hard copy at a discount store like Sam's or Office Depot. It prevents future problems should you have to reinstall, and forget your license number, etc. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

| Budgeting Features in Money I'm trying to decide between Quickbooks and Microsoft Money for my parents. The single most important feature for me is to help them budget unexpected expenses. If for example they have an unexpected dental expense of $1600, I want them to be able to enter that into the software and have it visibly show them that they have less money to spend in the next two months, even before they have received the invoice or paid it. What features does Money have relative to this feature? -- Will |
