It is bad enough knowing that the $125+ a week I spend is 90% consumed in some way or another. That is $5900 a year, so for the last 7 years I have spent approximatley $40K on food (food in the house) & toilitries. Eeeeek, I hope that counts fabric (~NOT~).

Definately keep it up. Try digging deeper into the numbers and see what you find! I can't wait to do it myself when I get back from my trip. Regards, makingourway I think what you’re doing is great.

Think I've been using Quicken now since 1987... just about 19 years. Sometimes I look at the investing data and think..."If only I would have..." This year I think I'll save the $ on the Quicken upgrade... '06 works fine, and I hear '07 is buggy. But it is a wonderful tool, huh? Thanks!

My whole life is in Quicken. I am obsessed with it. I watch my stocks, track my bills, everything in this program. I even have each of the kids set up to tracking investments and accounts. I'm a full blown geek. All businesses are on Quickbooks though. But they make me money. LOL a hobby? No, I don’t think so. My whole life is in Quicken. I am obsessed with it.
