I've used Quicken Premier for more than 20 years. It's getting to be too expensive and buggy. In the meantime, their reconciliation feature is a joke. (Who has time to compare each paper transaction and quicken transaction?)

Are there people like me who migrated out of Quicken into something else? I like to know your experiences and recommendation. I use quicken mainly to download transactions and to find out my investment performance.

To the best of my knowledge, Quicken is the only game in town that supports local only storing of your data (as opposed to online in the cloud where some 3rd world contractors\employees have access to your data potentially). It also remains the best software package for what it does imo.

Would I prefer it to be cheaper?...sure. But it is what it is. If you wait for a sale on Newegg, you can get a renewal keycard version on the cheap (like 60-70 dollars for the business and personal version). Write it off as an accounting expense on your taxes. It is what it is, but at a certain point you do get what you pay for.
