I firmly believe that whichever you try first, you'll stick with long-term. You'll get to know it, and everything else will be more difficult.
One of the reasons I use Quicken is because Intuit also makes TurboTax. The link from TT to Quicken is better than that of other tax packages from my experience; the year I switched, I had to raise several support issues for simple and stupid stuff.
I don't know if that affects you or not, Ross; I don't know if TT has a Scottish edition [img]tongue.gif[/img] But for Albromor, that might be a consideration.
Note that TT probably works just fine with Money, too... but it will be most tightly integrated into their own product, not someone else's.
Use one or the other, and you will most likely be happy. Hardest part about getting started is deciding what your opening balances are... just consider that you'll have to adjust them about a month later, when you get all your bank statements.
In a final note of true-to-life stories, when I first used MoneyCounts, it paid for itself within two month by finding a deposit that the bank had missed. It wasn't a lot of money, but it was enough that I could have bounced a few checks from it. And since using Quicken, I haven't written in a check register for over ten years. I do it all on-line.
