    I bought Microsoft Money for $5.99 with all the rebates and felt that it is worth more than the money that I spent on it (a Papa John’s Pizza costs more than $5.99 for all sakes !). I had some initial frustration with the software when I used it with Online Banking, but I figured out that it was due to my reservations about exchanging financial information online and the fact that I am not used to it.

    I used to work in Linux for a long time before switching to Windows 2000, and I used GnuCash in Linux for my financial accounting. GnuCash does not support online banking and I had to manually enter and balance each and every one of my transactions, withdrawals etc., Since I am more used to that type of personal finance management, I found Microsoft Money 2003 Standard minus the Online Banking very useful. I really cannot comment on the Online Banking part of Money 2003, since I don’t use it (or be comfortable with it).

    I haven’t yet explored the advanced feature of Money 2003, but I am impressed with what I have seen so far. And for $5.99, I think this is a very good deal.

    I used an old version of the product, but tried to do too much too fast. On this version I started with very basic functionality and added as I felt comfortable with whatever I had just added. My wife and I are both using the software on different computers and on the same money file. We never use the software at the same time. I also have it synchronized on my handheld. Sound like a complex configuration? Maybe… but this way she has access to balances and can do entry at home, I can check balances and do entry in my Dell Axim, as well as on my desktop at home.

    Unfortunately… the file went corrupt or something. Wouldn’t open because “this file wasn’t closed properly”, and it couldn’t fix itself. When I restored the backup, then synced my handheld the transactions got jumbled about with the payee’s and amounts getting totally mixed up. I gave up and started over. Very annoying.

    I have spent two days trying to make a simple household budget. There is NO DOCUMENTATION with the CD, and you have to figure it all out yourself. (The Help menu is a joke, forget it.)
    This is a maddening, complicated and overly difficult program. I bought it because of good reviews, but I wish I had bought Quicken. Stay away!

    This is an excellent tool to manage all your finances. Provides with all sorts of reports, Planners etc.

    I had a problem though, i couldn’t synchronize with MSN Money as promised. Microsoft suggested so many solutions, but nothing works. I couldn’t sign-in to .Net Passport from Money 2003

    First time i used MS MONEY was a couple years ago. I was hooked by the ease of it all in controlling finances. I especially love the what if scenerios to do with stocks and other omnious financial happenings. 2003 has made vast improvements!
