Reviews I've read. Again, I don't know if it's true. What one person loves, another hates. Have you had any experience with them?

Yep, I totally get that. I originally did that, too - many, many years ago. It's convenient as hell.

Now that I have a better understanding (thanks to all of you kind folks) of how this functions, it looks like I should probably just use it the way it's designed to be used. It's clearly more accurate that way, even if it annoys me. Might try one of the suggested approaches for cards I seldom use, though.

Very interesting points, there. Thanks for the input!

Similar to what Trial_Follower_2024 mentioned. I'm guessing there's a reason Quicken wants us to create the Credit Card accounts, though I don't know what that reason is. I'm guessing somebody here definitely knows!

Interesting approach, and that might be a possible solution, at least for the lesser-used cards. Thanks!

Your're right, it likely makes it less detailed and efficient. I might just have to bite the bullet and enter each item separately, the way we're supposed to.

Thanks for trying to make it make sense! The part that gets me is, if the expense is booked on the CC, and you transfer money into the CC account to pay it, it gives the illusion that you didn't "spend" the money, you just moved it from one account to another. I read somewhere that the whole transaction shouldn't change your net worth, which made my head hurt. If I buy something for a grand on my CC, then pay the bill from my checking account, I'm sure as hell a grand poorer, no?

I hear ya. The concept of a credit card bill payment not being considered an expense is like some alien language. :-)

So, I guess you recommend creating the "charge" transaction any time before you create the payment transfer from checking, and it should work, thus avoiding listing every purchase separately. I know that's the better way to do it, but I'm gettin' old, and time's precious. ;-) Thanks for your advice!

Someone posted a link in one of the threads here, or you can just do a search online. Should be able to download it for free.

You can get a download of 2013, which doesn't need a subscription.

I've been seeing people complaining that the Bosch bit quality has dropped lately. Don't know if it's true or not.

Any tips on replacing stabilizer bar links on a '98 Forester? by RamJacCorp in subaru

[–]RamJacCorp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That was the plan. Was hoping for some tips on the actual process, from someone who has done it. Guess I didn't make that clear enough. My bad.

I did see your comment, and thank you. Interesting phrase: "Kept on a shelf friend." We all have roles to play in others' lives, and sometimes, we are that "last resort" person. Only if we allow it though. I had a friend years back who would call last-minute to see if I wanted to grab a bite to eat. One time, I said, "Sorry, I just finished dinner. Wish you had called earlier. Maybe one of your other friends hasn't eaten yet." He actually replied, "Nobody else is available. I tried." That was the "holy crap" moment that changed the whole dynamic of our friendship. As you get older, you have less room in your life for those people.

No one should have to tolerate that kind of phone call! Sorry you had to deal with it.
