    I love MS Money, solid and reliable, and it allows you to record anything and run reports on anything. Only possible downside is that it doesn't download most bank accounts now, but I don't consider this a shortfall personally.

    Can't understand what would make it slow or crashing as it has been stable for literally a decade now. I have several dozens of current, savings and investment accounts in my MS Money and there is no performance issue.

    I appreciate that if you start out now you would not want to use ancient unsupported software, so look at something like YNAB as a viable alternative. It costs a small one-time fee but that's probably worth it - it's a pretty good piece of software. Naturally, if you don't put your number into it regularly, it won't do much for you.

    I would consider migrating to YNAB if they offered me a viable migration from MS Money but sadly they don't. In the meantime, I shall keep using MS Money, it will last me another 30 years or so as the principles of money in and money out won't change in the next few milleniums.......
  • If you're already using GnuCash, have you considered KMyMoney?

    Might be worth trying it out and seeing if it will import the GnuCash files. I know that I want to have a few more reports and graphs in KMY, but not thought much about it.

    Isn't that just the KDE version?
