Kinda juvenile, but the program allows for enough editing to make it useful. First order delivered a version not specified for my Windows 10; had to re-order to get the proper version.

I bought a new computer with Window 7. It has some simple Word Processors and Spreadsheets with it. From past experience, I know that I like WordPerfect Office a lot.
I bought this WordPerfect Office for my new computer. Some of the new features are more to my liking and some are less to my liking than older versions. Overall though, I like this version of WordPerfect Office a lot. I would recommend it to anyone.

TurboTax is my tax filing software of choice - has been for several years. Only problem is that it consistently fails to connect to my bank and brokerage to download my data, so I have to manually type in all info from W-2 and 1099-R forms.

I have been using McAfee Internet Security for many years, even for years before Intel bought them. I have never had a virus or other intrusion when using this McAfee product.. It is also nice to be able to buy one product and protect both my Desktop & Laptop computers. I am well satisfied with this item.

After problems with versions 2010, 2011, and 2012, and associated weak tech support, plus the multitude of weak reviews for 2013, I was reluctant to try it. I guess it was a good idea to wait until Intuit had fixed most of the bugs. My incentive to check it out was the cloud and iPhone app, and even though I’ve hated Quicken for the past several years, I must admit that I like this version and the accessibility via our iPhones.

This version of Family Tree Maker comes with a free, six-month membership to Ancestry.com, which is just about the right amount of time for the casual user to research and create a full family tree. Although you could do the research manually, Ancestry.com consolidates a tremendous amount of information from divers historical documents and makes it relatively easy and efficient to discover information about relatives from long ago.
Family Tree Maker Deluxe allows the user to create (and back-up) genealogy offline before submitting it online, so it’s my preferred method.

I used TurboTax for years, but they getting so expensive, charging extra for everything. So I decided to try H&R. I was not disappointed, but I was also not real thrilled that I had to pay extra for state tax software.

Oh Quicken, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Well, it does the job better than any other program of it’s type. Unfortunately, they have rightfully earned a reputation of software failures, including inaccuracies in budget computations that can lead to disaster. That said, I did not find any computational errors in this version. What I did find was that Quicken customer service is still the same: if your financial institution does not download properly into Quicken, then it is your financial institution’s problem.

I was introduced to WP long before there was Windows or Word. WP is command rather than mouse driven and far more efficient and elegant.
We use both word and WP in the office only because we need to communicate with other firms. I give our people the choice of using word or WP for internal communications. Over the last decade or so most of the employees came to the company knowing only word.

There is a lot to like here. The basic documents are here, its pretty easy to use , you save a lot vs using an attorney, you can review and edit your forms.
Probably the most important first step with respect to the will, living will and health care directive is to take a couple of blank sheets and do a flow chart to think through what you want to have happen.
