I'd like to get a new home financial program for my Apple //e, so I'm looking for opinions. I've been using Time Is Money for about 4 years (does that even exist now?) and I'd like to get something more flexible. In particular, I'd like to be able to get selected data into Appleworks format so I can more easily do my taxes there, along with general juggling and 'what if' attempts. This note requests any opinions at all. If someone is into counseling and wants more details about needs, send me some email and we'll chat. Thanks for any help.

In-Reply-To: message from knowles@inmet.inmet.com Mecca's Managing Your Money is just about the most complete home financial program I've run across. In additon to the usually budget checkbook thing, it contains a data base/card file, portfolio manager, insurance manager, tax estimator and net worth/home inventory module. More than worth every penny I've spent on it, at tax time and for other extractions of financial and personal data. My only complaint is the IBM version is more robust than the Apple ][ (I have both), containing a built in word processor and true interface to their tax program. ______________________________________________________________________________ Mike Ungerman |Proline:mikeu@pro-magic Pro-Magic BBS: 407-366-0156 |uucp:crash!pnet01!pro-magic!mikeu 300/1200/2400/9600 Baud 24hrs |arpa:crash!pnet01!pro-magic!mikeu@nosc.mil Apple Tree of Central Florida, Inc |Internet:mikeu@pro-magic.cts.com Orlando, Florida|Voice:407-366-0060|Compuserve:71326,31 Prodigy: JSNP58A

I'm very pleased with Andrew Tobia's Managing Your Money. I've used it for
about a year and a half and find it a very good conprehensive home finance
program. It has some limitations such as not being able to print reports 132
columns wide but all in all it does an adequate job. It also has a nice
feature of being to export using the DIF file format into AppleWorks
spreadsheet. There's supposed to be a new version coming out soon. BTW, if
you do get it, don't bother with the optional extra of getting a newsletter.
I think I paid about $35 for this extra and it been a disappointment. The
newsletters so far have been filled with extra stuff that bears no relation at
all with the program. A real waste. That would not stop me from buying the
program, however.
