Review by Thomas E. McRae, Jr.

Quicken Deluxe 2014 is OK … …but with one or two items that I can’t use. After using Quicken 2010 for some time, the budgeting tool on 2014 was hard to get use to. I did not like it at first, but the more I worked with it the better it got and now it is working fine and saving me money. One thing that I have definitely changed: when I write a check, I don’t put it in checking. I put it in the mail and wait for it to reach my account and then, after the bank processes it, it downloads into checking. This is a better way because it is one hundred percent accurate. I don’t know how the budgeting tool will work with downloading, but I will see.n As far as items that I can’t use: Quicken has a tool that allows for setting a savings goal, I can’t use it because I already have a savings account that I download. I don’t need another savings account. By the way, I don’t have any of those mobile devices that you talk about. I have no need for them.
