I would definitely keep this for myself and use it to finally have an official budget. I’ve never actually used any money management software nor have I even sat down with pen and paper and TRULY budgeted. And I need to! So this would be a great way to start.
That would be amazing! I just started tracking my purchases more closely, and this would definitely help!
Oops, is the Quicken giveaway only for Canadians? If so, then plese delete my entry since I’m in the U.S. :)
Yay a gift for Canadians! I would keep it for myself and use it to really keep a good eye on our spending while we’re working our way out of debt!
Yay for Canada! (I’m not entering because I am a Canuck in the US) but just wanted to say thanks for the Canadian shout out, J!
Ooooh, pick me, pick me! I run a small business and this would be PERFECT for me to use! Each year I enter my transactions into an ugly excel spreadsheet which doesn’t help me budget or give me useful charts to look at.
I read your blog all the time J$ – I feel bad now for only now posting a comment when it’s for a chance to win something but in any case, hello from Vancouver, BC!
Haha… y’all are funny :) I love each and every one of you Canadians whether you comment or not! I’m glad I finally have something *JUST* for you guys – you make my 2nd % readership – woo!
My hubby would really love to retire in a few years and this software would be such a big help!!
We Canadians love you, J. Money!!
I would love to win this! I just recently (as in, a couple of weeks ago) left my full-time job to pursue a freelance career (!!!) and this would be so useful in getting going, and managing my finances. Currently I use Mint and a good old pad and and paper, but I fear it will only take me so far. Pretty please?
A Canadian giveaway! How cool. :)
I would use it myself – I use Mint right now, but the fact is, it does not integrate with a lot of my investment accounts, so I’m still tracking way too many things manually in Excel!
I have a few family members whom could really use this money tracking tool. They are concidering filing bankruptcy.:(
Integrate, but separate, my personal and small business finances.
I have been a Quicken user since 2000. Been using it to manage my finance and investment. This will upgrade my copy of Quicken 2008 H&B. Very much needed!
I would, manage my blogging and work income, household finances and all that Jazz. Greetings from Ontario (Canada!).
I would love to win this, right now we’re just using excel and I’m starting to drown in too many spreadsheets.
I would keep this one as a ‘Merry Christmas to Me’ gift. This would replace the spreadsheets that I make myself, and would allow me to get the charts / graphs that I love but “will get around to making in Excel someday”.
This would be perfect for me. I’m looking to start a small home-based business in 2012 and could use the brilliant software to quicken my progress to financial independence. =)
I would give this to my wife, or my dad – both love to budget and would definitely get great use out of it.
Yay!! I would so keep this. my currently budgeting is a clunky amount of spreadsheets. this would be great!
I would definitely keep this for myself and take advantage of being able to download the info from my bank to the software – track my spending (yike) and stay on budget.
I would use this for myself!
I am sure I have a Canadian friend that I could give this to .
Shop to the credit limit,and more till they freeze card,,100 towards credit card.
I have friends from Canada so it makes me eligible, right? I would give this away on my blog to one of my Canadian readers.
This will be my first time using Quicken. Always wanted a better way than Excel. This will be a gift to myself
Greeting from Halifax, Nova Scotia :)
This one would definitely stay with me! I’ve been using a combination of excel and gnucash and it works but incredibly time consuming! Just the thought of using Quicken instead makes me tingley all over ;)
I would give it to my friend who struggles with managing her money.
***GIVEAWAY NOW OVER***
Thanks for participating everyone, we’ll be announcing the winner shortly! :)
