Glad you like it man. Hope you hit a bulls-eye! Neal I had a similar experience w/Quicken and certainly, like you, I LOVE YNAB. Glad you like it man.

About a week ago, I purchased Quicken Deluxe 2012 in an attempt to create some semblance of order in my finances (I've always been a "buy-what-I-want-and-hope-for-the-best" kind of person). Man, was I disappointed. After several maddening, frustrating hours I came to the realization that Quicken is just a collection of programs that are not integrated with each other at all. My Budget tab didn't take into account my Bills tab, etc, etc, etc. It was also so needlessly complex to the point it just boggled my mind to look at the screen. YNAB is everything Quicken isn't. It comes off as overly simplistic, but that's the beauty of it. The complexities run behind the scenes. This software actually works the way my mind does, and at the moment everything "clicked", I actually shed a single tear of joy. And I NEVER cry. Thank you, Neal-- I'll follow-up in a few months. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a little target practice with my Quicken CD! To all those still undecided on YNAB:

I currently use Quickbooks for my business only because my CPA wants me too. If he did not ask me for the records in Quickbooks format I would use YNAB for my business.

Are there tax reports that can be set up for the small business? Thanks.
