What do you think of Quicken Personal Finance Online?
fireflykerry asked:
I’m considering signing up for Quicken online (the free online version) and would like some opinions about it first. I’m really nervous about giving out personal bank info and it would help if I knew what someone else thought about it:)

I would advise against it. The company who makes Quicken , Intuit, is trustworthy but they are annoying as hell. If you buy any of there products, you have to disable a million pop ups as they try to sell you tons of overpriced junk.
I can only imagine the sales pitch gets worse with a “free” product. If you want to use it, buy yourself the cheap version. it runs about 30 bucks. Or try microsoft money.
They try to sell you stupid things like “bll pay” which is free at most banks anyway. They also try to sell you “official” quicken checks, which can be bought through walmart.com or costco.com for about a quarter of the cost.
Like I said, the company is trustworthy but you waste a ton of time trying to get rid of the ads.
