The real benefit of Quicken....

although it's actually rather depressing.


So, I have been a good girl and trying to diligently make sure I'm keeping Quicken up to date instead of getting lazy & getting behind.


I decide to try and see where we are at even though there are a million "adjustment" entries.


One thing I was curious about since I really had no clue how much we have paid out, I just pay it & figure it is what it is...is just exactly how much interest are we paying the credit cards in a year.


I did a report and in my case it came to OVER $6,000 -- this is with me not even putting everything for several months, so there are gaps.

I've thought seriously about purchasing Quicken,

I bet that interest total about knocked the wind out of you, Becky.

I know we have a lot that are high & I see it every month but I've never put ALL of them together in my head.

Marie what is Google docs? Is it a way of storing the spreadsheet so you can access from different computers? I need something like this. My biggest problem is that my excel sheet is at work, so during the week I am spot on with my tracking. Weekends however are another story. . .
