I have been using the MS Money products ever since Windows 98. I've found it much easier to use than the usual accounting programs. In the past I have tried such programs as Peachtree and Quick Books, but found them far too difficult use and understand. It's also very hard to make them work the way I want them to. I have worked the past 15 years in accounting, so you would think I could make these programs work for me, but that hasn't been the case. On the other hand, Money is flexible and versatile enough that you can customize it to your wokr habits. The only part of it that is 'Business' oriented is the Inventory section. Since I just started selling on Amazon and Ebay, I felt a need to track my inventory. Unfortunately, though, the Inventory section is just a place for you make a List of your inventory. It does not tie into any of your transactions, so you have to MANUALLY enter and remove the individual items as you buy or sell things. This is not very convenient for me. Now, I don't bother to track items, just show them as Inventory Purchases, and log the gross sales. This is working well for me. You can set up as many accounts as you need, and you can enter new categories as needed. I highly recommend this program for anyone who needs to track their home expenses and also for anyone who does NOT need to track their sales to inventory. The inventory section would work very well for keeping up with your household assets, however.
