need software just for checkbook management - anyone know Quicken?

[WendyLovesPeter]

I have used Quickbooks for years for our business. It would be an overkill for the personal finance that I want to organize.... several checking accounts and savings accounts. We have a rental home that is an investment that I would also organize there. I am talking like 10 transactions per month max on the rental. I don't want to use the Quickbooks for any of these things. Considering quicken but I can't find a clear explanation for what you can do with it.... I don't want to budget. I am not looking to the future. I just want to organize what I already have by manually putting it in. I don't want it to import directly from my accounts online. I don't plan on giving it that ability. If you use quicken, can you shed some light? Thanks!

Yes, you can manually enter your checkbook(s) into Quicken. You can use it to keep track of credit card accounts and stock accounts as well.

I am treasurer for Volunteer Fire Dept use Microsoft Money for 1 account, and treasurer for my church and use Quicken keeping 3 accounts. I like Microsoft best, easiers to use and print outs much better. But Quicken get the job done, and much cheaper. So for a simple account Quicken will do just fine.

Love Quicken!! I've been using it for about 15 years! You can manually enter everything you want, or you can download from your online checking/savings/credit card accounts.
