I upgraded last year when I bought a new laptop. 2014 gives me a cloud back-up system, but I'm not as happy with some other features. I always manually reconcile or add things. It's basically a very large check register for me. Having things dating back to 1996 is kind of nice to see how much we used to make or spend.

Plus, I like to preplan budgets, funding retirement, etc. Not sure any other program would allow me to do that.

My son tried to get me to use MSN Money, but like MS Streets and Trips, MS has discontinued it, too.

I have been using Quicken to keep track of our family finances since sometime in the 90's. Lately I've been trying to get away from services that work just fine but become obsoleted by the vendor changing something that makes them less useful.

I have been successful in replacing my Quicken 2013 with a free program KMyMoney. Beginning last August I entered all transactions into both Quicken and KMyMoney to see whether the new program would meet my needs. It took a month or so to get everything set up and as of March 1st I have stopped using Quicken.
