So, I have all three of these programs, tell me, which is your preference? So far, I have been keeping track in a little paper notebook with a good old pen. Remember those things? I want to keep track of mileage, expenditures, profits, all of that, which program is best?

Well, you are talking apples & oranges. There is no way to compare Quickin with Excel. One is a spreadsheet & the other is a banking service. I use both. I keep track of all of my transactions in excel. I have 3 bank accts in Quicken. I keep track of deposits & checks written in Quicken. I also have MS 2001, but I have used Quicken for about 10 yrs & don't want to change. I know the system, have checks printed to use with it. Can't give you a fair comparison between the 2. I have at least 10 different categories set up on Excel for expenses & income. If you don't know how to use it, I suggest that you contact your local adult education center & see if they give courses on this subject. That is how I learned to use it.

Have you taken a look at Quickbooks? I started off with Quickbooks. I'm now using MYOB Account Edge. I only switch based on my CPA's recommendation.
