Plus, the learning curve was basically nil. Which I must admit is odd, considering how easy GnuCash is for me to use on a daily basis. But hey, I (and my wife) may just be unable to use Quicken properly.
RUNNING QUICKBOOKS ON A MAC USING WINDOWS EMULATOR SOFTWARE
It makes keeping your bank register and your finance software in sync much easier. Like I said, GnuCash has the cleared balance neatly displayed at the top of the register at all times. And she is consistantly able to screw up her registers in Quicken because she can't see what her cleared balance is when she's comparing between Quicken and her online statements. My wife and I each keep track of our own accounts, and I'm consistantly able to tell you down to the penny how much money I have. Sure, the column is there, but other than the satisfaction of seeing a little "c" in the column for every transaction, I see no use for it in Quicken. GnuCash has had this ever since I can remember, but I'll be damned if I can find a way to look at it in Quicken. (More resistant to typos as well.) And I can't believe that Quicken STILL doesn't have any way to tell you what your CLEARED balance is in your checking accounts. GnuCash uses a double entry system, which is far more sane than any single entry system I've every seen. All of the pretty graphs and predictions built into Quicken are great, but it is all absolutely useless when the data entry tools are borked. GNUcash may have these features now, if so please tell us! Money can split up that money and tell you the best way to pay things off while minimizing your interest payments. with their interest rates, and put in how much you want to pay per month. You can also put in all your loans, credit cards, etc. This lets me locate possible trouble points well ahead of time and plan around them, instead of risking overdrafting my account. Money can them show me a pretty line graph of a day by day estimate of what my balance is going to look like for the next month, three months, year, whatever. GNUcash does a fair of telling you where you've been, but doesn't seem to have any functionality of telling you where you're going.įor example, in Money I can put in a schedule of all my paychecks, bills, etc., as well estimates of my monthly budget (how much I spend on gas, dining out, etc.). I don't know about Quicken, but at least compared to MS Money it definately fell short.
