Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the category archives:
Anyone have any tips? I’ve got a corporate card for work expenses. I am not sure what to do with Quicken and per diem.
I made a work expense category for when I spend out of my own pocket and transfer payments to that category when I pay the bill. I’ll also be able to see [...]

I had a great time at dinner. Mercer Kitchen was delicious. As mentioned in the comments, this dinner was sponsored by Intuit’s TurboTax. (Not particularly a product I enjoy, but I do love my Quicken, which is an Intuit product.) I had the butternut squash soup for appetizer and the seared scallop with pea green [...]

I’m a long time Quicken user, and I can’t imagine life without it. I’ve been using it on and off since about 1996. I only took a break when I didn’t own a computer at home for a while.
As much as I love Quicken, I also have some serious issues with it. I cannot tell [...]

Reader Paula asks:
So… did your netbook actually RUN Quicken? I’d heard that the funny resolution means some applications won’t run at all.
I’d be OK with not having several years of data available at the same time on the netbook, personally. I’ll be happy to have one current year’s data at a time, actually.
First, let’s review [...]

Yes, being away from Quicken for the last 60 days has been a very serious problem.
I just found out that I am eligible to participate in the company’s stock purchasing program. This means I can buy company stock for a fixed discount and pay little to no fees for the privilege. I thought I wouldn’t [...]

I’m not kidding. Everyone who is tracking their money ought to have a software program to look at their accounts. Unless you are an anal retentive accountant who keeps old school ledgers, I doubt you balance your accounts by hand and keep it up to date all the time.
I have got a serious cautionary tale [...]

I am liking and yet hating Turbo Tax right now.
I love it because I got a crazy federal refund in 4-digits that I wasn’t expecting. I am also getting a refund for VA state taxes. However, I hate Turbo Tax because now I have to print out the forms and white out the $30 telephone [...]

Yes indeedy. I did it.
I am cheesed off with Wachovia for charging me to download from within Quicken, but not so cheesed off as to kill that account. I really do feel more comfortable with a brick and mortar bank locally. So this means my Philadelphia based checking bank is going the way of the [...]

I netted out about ~$14,000.00. I was hoping to net ~$18,000.00, but I’ll take it. I can genuinely say that my Save-O-Meter, FSA and 401K totals that $14K, so I think I’ve accurately hit my personal goals for 2006, despite going over budget.
I drafted up a recap of 2006 with some goals for 2007, but [...]
