There are a number of financial management programs out there, but Quicken has been one of the leaders for years. I’ve been using Quicken for about three years and just recently upgraded to the 2009 edition. It’s really nice, and if you’re looking for a comprehensive financial management program it’s hard to beat.
Luckily, Quicken has decided to extend their sale until the end of May. Now, you can grab any of the products for up to 33% off. Of course, you can always get started with the FREE online version and if you find that you like what it does and could use a few more features, upgrade to one of the other versions.
