These programs can record a tremendous amount of financial info, but you've got to be willing to sit there and enter or download (from financial institutions).

You can also go to ebay and find other programs for as little as $5. Finally. download.com has alternatives with free demos - just search....good luck! No, its not necessary, but it can help a lot.
