Quicken vs. Mvelopes

Has Quicken really helped you better yourself financially?

As a former Quicken user, I've found that it hasn't really helped financially as I had hoped. 

In spite of all that Quicken does, it doesn't not solve the basic problem that keeps most people from achieving their financial goals, managing their spending. The key is budgeting, but not the traditional approach.

Quicken* uses the traditional after-the-fact approach, basically a month-end reconciliation of budget to actual spending, which simply does not work.

Imagine trying to manage your grocery or clothing spending but not knowing how much you have spent in each until the end of the month. It just doesn’t work. You need accurate, up-to-date information for each spending category right when you make a spending decision. You cannot wait until the end of the month, or you'll find you have overspent yet again.

...Here's A Better Idea!

A budgeting system called Mvelopes Personal.  It's appears to be revolutionizing how people budget and manage their money. Mvelopes Personal is fashioned after the same envelope concept used in the 1950's, and they've advanced it for use with the Internet. You can now manage your finances in just a few
minutes a week allowing you to get out of debt and save for the future. Mvelopes will give you
the piece of mind to spend with confidence, knowing the money is set aside for each expense.

Mvelopes Personal has many features that are simply not available in any other personal finance system. Features like anytime, anywhere access, automatic transaction retrieval from over 5,000 supported institutions, and many other unique features that really make Mvelopes stand out.
