Quicken
is one of the many convenient ways to keep track of personal finances, but many people are unaware of Quicken's power and end up using only the basic features. And sometimes Quicken seems to raise more questions than it answers: Return of capital from stock? "Net worth"? What are they and why do you need to know about them? Luckily, Quicken
2008
: The
Missing
Manual
picks up where Quicken's help resources leave off. You'll find step-by-step instructions for using the most useful Quicken features, including those you may not have quite understood, let alone mastered, such as budgeting, recording investment transactions, archiving Quicken data files, and so on. You also learn why and when to use specific features, and which ones would be most useful in your situation. Quicken 2008: The Missing Manual helps you: Set up Quicken to take care of your specific needs. Follow your money from the moment you earn it. Make deposits, pay for expenses, track the things you own and how much you owe. Take care of financial tasks online, and quickly reconcile your accounts. Create and use budgets and track your investments. Generate reports to prepare your tax returns and evaluate your financial fitness. And a lot more. This book is designed to accommodate readers at every technical level. If you're a first-time Quicken user, special boxes with the title "Up To Speed" provide the introductory information you need to understand the topic at hand. For advanced users, there are similar boxes called "Power Users' Clinic" that offer more technical tips, tricks, and shortcuts for the experienced Quicken fan. For a topic as important as your personal finances, why trust anything else?

Quicken 2008 The Missing Manual
This is a great book with good explanations to those of us who do not understand all the ins and outs of the financial world and the software that we use. We use it together with
Quicken
2008
for Dummies. Both of these books are very helpful references and are used a lot.
Thanks.
BEfore you install Quicken
I wish I had reviewed this
manual
before I installed
Quicken
. Especially helpful during the "set up" phase, and very clear on how to work with loan and credit card accounts.The book does not require that you thnk like an accountant. If you have decided Quicken is for you, then this book is essential.

Starter Edition
I read the fine print that this was for the Premier and Deluxe Edition, but I didn't realize how different they are from the Starter Edition, i.e., panel layouts, etc. Now I either go to one of the other editions, which I don't need or spend a lot of time trying to figure how to make the best of the Help function which is not that helpful.
Somewhat helpful
I have used
Quicken
for several years and found
2008
to be confusing. By the time the book arrived I had become more comfortable with the new format. I still don't like it but I still prefer Managing Your Money. (No longer made and DOS based.)
