 No nonesense approach December 29, 2009

I was reluctant about this book, and frankly about Quicken 2010 itself.Quicken Premier 2010 I've been using MS Money for the past decade or so, but when MS decided not to support and make newer versions I decided a change was needed.
I've been using Quicken 2010 for over a month now and will tell you that I simply love this software. It is everthing they claim and so much more. I use it for my daily banking activities, my credit cards and my 401K tracking. Quicken makes it so easy to track each of them. If you want Quicken will download details from each of your accounts web sites, but you don't have to. For instance, I want to have total control over my everyday bank, but for the credit cards and the 401K I run updates about once a week to every 10 days. Because I use my debit card as most people would cash (I seldomly carry cash), I have a lot of transactions to report. This can get overwhelming if you're not used to it, but the book made it simple for me to get started. I knew how I wanted to approach my use of the software, and frankly other books about Quicken 2010 weren't quite available when I orded this. And I'm glad for it. This book has everything about the software in it. It has a no nonesense approach and tells you how to get the job done. You don't have to read it from cover to cover, just use it like you would a refrence manual- for that's what it is.
On a personal matter I wasn't sure if I wanted to have Quicken 2010 convert all my MS Money files over and even how to do it, or if it could. I made my choice after reading what this book has to say on the matter. So as not to convince you to do what I did, I won't tell you what my decision was. But I'm glad I did what I did.
If you're new to personal finance software or just need some insight into what it can do, I recommend this book. I bought it, and would do so again, even though I've been using personal finance software for well over 15 years. Just let me say that I've never had a late fee imposed upon me, have never missed a bill, and I know exactly how much I have at any given moment- to the cent, and so much more, all because of personal finance software of which Quicken 2010 is a great product and this guide will increase your knowledge of just what you can accomplish with it.
If you use Quicken 2010 you SHOULD have this book February 6, 2010

I was a Microsoft Money user for as long as I can remember but when Microsoft stopped updating it I switched to Quicken 2010 and decided I may as well buy this book to learn how to use the program.
I have to say that after reading the book and learning what I could do with Quicken 2010, I should have made the switch years ago.
As far as how the book is written, it offers real advice and practical examples for everyday users and even offers you advise on what you may or may not even have to or want to read depending on your situation and needs.
The Authors give great examples of their own personal uses and experiences with the programs and even walk you though setting up customized screens that for me at least have proven very helpful.
It really does help you get a handle on you financial situation and is so easy to use once you read about what you can do and how to do it that you find yourself wanting to read more and more about other things you can do with the program. In fact, once I started using Quicken 2010 with the help of this book, I found that I wanted to upgrade my original version of Quicken 2010 to Quicken Premier for the additional stock tools that version offers. When I did I was pleasantly suprised to learn that it was just a matter of obtaining a simple unlocking code for the version I had originally purchased for an additional fee and that I did not have to buy an entirely new version for full price.
I definitely think anyone will benefit from this book if you are or are planning to be a Quicken 2010 user
Quicken 2010 my review February 6, 2010

Overall this is a very good book to keep handy when working with Quicken. I use it when I get stuck on something. The book is easy to read and clearly written with examples of what is happening in the software. Because of the book I was able to figure out why my income totals were not what they should have been and fix the problem. I am still working on understanding the investment, mutual fund area but that is my fault not the books. The book is worth the purchase price, I highly recommend it to anyone.
Using Quicken 2010 by Maria Langer April 5, 2010
William C. Lins, Jr. (Baltimore, MD USA)
Excellent work, easy to read and understand the step by step instructions. It assumed you were new to the using this type of software and accounting terminology. This was great and made it very easy for me to follow in the most complicated sections such as tracking stocks and bonds and other investments accounts. This is the best instructional book I have ever used. I would highly reccomend it to everyone who uses this software.
Delivered as promised May 10, 2010

I was a bit suspicious when I saw this offer, as the price was so reasonable. I frankly expected it not to be licensed, or have some similar problem, but I installed it 4 months ago and no problems! Thanks
