113564 2003-01-13 22:33:00 I would like some advice on which personal financial software is best when comparing MS Money 2003 to Quicken Personal 2002.

At the moment I'm leaning to Money 2003 as I feel the budgeting side is better and overall it seems smarter.

I don't like the fact that I can't automatically download my bank statements unless I'm with a US bank using Money 2003 .

I understand that Quicken Personal 2002 can do this but I'm trialing a unregistered copy so this feature doesn't work.

Has any one got any advise on which they feel is a better product?

113565 2003-01-14 07:20:00 Quicken has Money beat in all versions I have used.

I have read reviews on recent "Money" versions but only by Americans.

In NZ go for Quicken.... Most Accountants would tell you the same thing. ( I think )

Have you used Quicken Personal 2002?

As I'm not all that impressed with the demo version I got...may be there are updates that are better.

113568 2003-01-15 23:18:00 I have used both and have bought Quicken Personal. I find it easy to use and the finance people do seem to perfer it. Its Aus/NZ too.
