2/4/2022:
I am a long-time user of QuickBooks and Quicken. With the closing of my various companies, I did not feel the need to continue paying Intuit for the QuickBooks subscription. I had not realized that stopping my payment would make my data inaccessible. Quicken was not downloading data from my accounts well and I needed to spend much time cleaning up the downloads. Quicken had also moved to a subscription model. Intuit products were no longer suiting my needs. I tried GnuCash as an alternative, but the downloads were overly difficult to set up. Yesterday was an ice and snow storm so I was hunkered down in the house, so I developed my 2022 personal financial statements using Excel. I can import data in csv format into a sheet for each account tailored to how the data comes from that particular institution. The spreadsheet is set up for the entire year, as it is easier to build with no data. Adding data will be pretty straightforward. I have noticed, though, that when Quicken downloaded brokerage information it included asset allocation information that I so far am having difficulty finding. The next iteration of my financial software building will be portfolio allocation.
