Is anyone here using a software for personal finance? [View all]

I have been using Quicken (for the Mac) for ages. When I started using it, in 1992, I marveled that it was as if someone got into my head and designed exactly what I wanted. It was really intuitive. I kept upgrading and moved from a print manual to an online one which was still fine. I could still search what I wanted and read the concise demonstrations.

But now I had to upgrade to 2018 and it is terrible. Two major examples: no memorizing functions for the quickfill list. Like paying for my water bill, where all the fields are there, except the amount and, of course, the date (and check number as needed). It remembers everything, including the $18 that we paid for two hamburgers and fries at Five Guys.

On the register, it has only one field and everything automatically is posted with the minus sign, meaning an expense. Yesterday I wanted to enter the Social Security deposit and had to manually delete the minus sign.

Their help functions is useless, when one wants to search for a term. They sent me to YouTube and the "introductions" is 10 min long and I stopped after two.

So I went in search of alternatives.

They both recommend Personal Capital, and YNAB - You need a budget

Seems that the first concentrates on investment, while the second on budget and... I use both. So am not sure.

Seems that the first is free, so I may give it a try.

Will appreciate any comments.
