With checkbooks going the way of the fax machine, money-management programs are becoming an increasingly popular addition to personal software collections. Whether you're creating a monthly budget or planning a complex investment portfolio, Microsoft Money 2002 Deluxe offers a compelling solution for everyone from stockbrokers to soccer moms.
The first thing we noticed after launching Money 2002 Deluxe was how happy everyone in Microsoft land seemed. Images of beautiful people sitting around in loungewear floated across our screen, beckoning us to join the ranks of content Money users. Happily, we complied and began entering our personal finance information, including bank accounts, credit cards, monthly expenses, etc. While the setup wizard made getting started extremely easy, take note that many features require users to have a Microsoft Passport account. Without this account number, users are unable to access some of the cooler Web features available in Money 2002. Disabling this feature is complicated, and ignoring it is virtually impossible as you are constantly being asked to sign in to Passport.
That said, many of the new features that make Money a worthwhile upgrade revolve around better Web integration and online services. The new MoneySide bar follows you around as you surf the Web, providing you with access to your financial data as you shop, invest, or pay bills. You can also synchronize your Money data with MSN Money, which allows for up-to-date investing, banking, and financial planning information. Other improvements show up in the areas of report and chart creation, as well as the ability to send these reports via e-mail. Finally, a new Bill Setup and Edit feature offers a central location for tracking your bills and making electronic payments.
One of the great things about Money 2002 Deluxe is that you can use it as much or as little as you like. For example, if you just want to see how much a vacation will affect your monthly budget, the program offers a one-time expense feature to use during that month. If, on the other hand, you'd rather create a six-month plan to purchase a new SUV, Money 2002 will help you set up a budget to account for this expense over time.
Overall, Money 2002 Deluxe is a strong and dependable tool for managing your money, which can only lead to financial gains. --Gisele Toueg

Don't waste your money -  |
Microsoft Money 2002 Deluxe Review |
|
The only major thing I learned about money from Money 2002 Deluxe is that buying it is a waste of money. It is user unfriendly, has a confusing layout and the "automatic" retrieval of information from the internet worked for less than half the accounts I put in the software. Another "fun" thing was that the first time I set up all my accounts, budget etc., the Money file was saved to a folder on the LAN network - even though I was not connected to it at the time. I should have realized this, of course, but I didn't. Next time I tried to access the file it was not found, neither on the network, nor on the hard drive. Money 2002 Deluxe is good for two things: Cardio exercise - because it will definitely raise your blood pressure and heart rate whenever you use it, and It will make your wallet a lighter and more comfortable fit in your pocket.. |

Ok, but too much reliability on the Internet -  |
Microsoft Money 2002 Deluxe Review |
|
They are making Money more and more like you're expected to have a broadband 24x7 connection to the Internet, plus there are several other annoying features like the necessary Microsoft Hotmail/Passport account necessary to login. Also, the online synching is very poor, can't even cancel it in many cases when it takes FOREVER. |

Best most affordable financial software currently available - |
Microsoft Money 2002 Deluxe Review |
|
I have used money 2000 and 2003 and think that it is great for keeping track of your personal finances. You will know what you owe, what you have, and what you will have left after you pay what you owe. First off, I was can' believe that money has some of these low ratings. I tried to use Quicken Deluxe 2000 when i got my computer and I just never felt that it worked very well. Things like balancing my account and paying bills online were very difficult and I eventually gave up. The only thing better about Quicken than money is i must admit they have a much better web site than microsoft money. It's free so I'll buy money and use the Quicken web site for free. I advise the same. Money has a more aesthetically pleasing layout,updating my accounts are almost effortlesss and in some cases automatic, and online integration is a major plus considering that i pay more than 90% of my bills online. Money enters all these payments automatically into my credit card or checking account. The biggest thing that i like about money is the way that you can use it to track your portfolio. You buy you stocks, bonds, ect then update the prices as often as you like with delayed quotes in money. You can also enter them manually if you need to. For example the company i work for has a coperate stock fund that does not have a ticker symbol since it basically market times its own stock and federal bonds, but i can go to my 401k website and it will give me an nav which i can manually enter into money. Alot of the negative reviews seem to be from people that seem to be a little afraid to take time to learn the system. I admit it does take more than a day or even a week to get the total hang of it, but If you are willing to invest time to track your finances Money is definitely an application you should consider. |

Superior to Quicken. Quicken users should switch. - |
Microsoft Money 2002 Deluxe Review |
|
As people who have used both programs know, Money and Quicken are effectively the same as for substantive content. Money has a slightly sleeker look-and-feel to it, consistent with Microsoft products, if that is important to you. The reason I give it such good ratings is that, as a Quicken-user since 1997, I finally got sick of the ever-dreaded Quicken-crashes. I upgraded to Quicken 2002, which is probably the most unstable code Intuit has audaciuosly relased to the market to date. I have found Money *so* much more stable that it WELL WARRANTS the short learning curve frustrated users of quicken will have to make the switch. The common complaint about Money is the ubiquitous advertising. However, these can be turned off under Tools...Options and never heard from again, so I consider a bit of a non-issue (besides it being slightly obnoxious that Microsoft would try to pass them off in the first place). Conversion from Quicken is really quite easy. Even Quicken-purchased checks work seamlessly. |
