subject: Cheap Quicken Software By Intuit [print this page] Is it just by chance that most millionaires become millionaires? Some people might think it's all about luck, but according to William D. Danko and Thomas J. Stanley, authors of the New York Times best seller "The Millionaire Next Door," the main factor in the majority of most Millionaire's wealth is the fact that they control their spending.
Most wealthy people can show you exactly how much money they spend every month and what they spend it on because they keep very close tabs on their expenses. This news is not new, as many studies over the years have shown that people who keep track of what they spend actually tend to spend less.
Before this new computer age, keeping track of ones expenses had to be done with pencil and paper. But now, with computers and the personal and business software for managing money it is much easier. And one such software is Quicken, by Intuit. It is actually regarded as one of the, if not "THE" very best software available for managing money.
Although Quicken is not very cheap when you buy it directly from Intuit, there are other sources that offer cheap quicken software that is authentic and comes with all the bells and whistles including tech support. However, there are also places selling OEM versions of Quicken that Intuit will not give free tech support for, so you should make sure you know exactly what you are getting before you purchase.
There are also some older versions that are being offered in places like eBay which are just fine, but once the software is 3 years old you won't be able to use some of the advanced features that you get online. Certain things like the online integrated bill paying systems and ability to download transactions may stop working. But if you normally go directly to your bank's website to do your online banking then that of course would not present a problem.
If you do buy an older version from some place like eBay, make sure you are buying an unregistered copy. That way you will be able to register it yourself which will make you eligible for any discounts that might be available for upgrading to a newer version in the future.
