At some point I may have to get the newest version of Quicken

5. Can you import your data from Quicken? Answered!

I've been using Quicken for about 30 years, I guess.

Last year I upgraded my Quicken and got sucked into their subscription thing - without realizing it was auto-renew. So it renewed a month or so ago, right when I started entering stuff to get ready for tax season. I used to enter about once a month, with my personal and business info but now my life is simpler so it's easier to do it about once a quarter - and last year I missed three quarter, what with sorting out my mother's estate, my operation, our trip to the UK, etc.

When I tried to download my checking account data, it would not import into Quicken. I checked some stuff and found that even when they charged me for another year, they did not offer me an update. It was over a year out of date and no longer supported import without it. I had to stop in the middle, upgrade, reboot, THEN I had to find the QFX file and import it so I could get back to work. PITA!

I found the answer to my question! Yes you can import Quicken data, with some caution. https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/switching-from-another-personal-finance-program/15629-switch-from-quicken-to-moneydance and the PDF referenced in that thread.

Since I've already paid for a year of Quicken I may wait until I get my new computer built in a few months and migrate to Money Dance.

Thanks!
