Quicken 2010 problems

The fix is easy: DON'T DOWNLOAD brokerage data. I never have and I get along just fine.

Well, that will solve your problem. But then, you could just as easily say "Don't use Quicken".

I use Fidelity for about 95% of my financial transactions. All my stocks and options are held there, all my bills are paid through there, and our hand written checks clear through there.

And although I have a "guy" to do my taxes, I like being able to run a report after the year and have it match the forms that the IRS gets from Fido.

If Q-2010 is completely broken when downloading brokerage data (which is NOT what the original poster said, I'm just using hyperbole here), then the way *I* will fix the problem is to stop using Quicken.

I use Schwab has anyone with 2010 had any problems downloading quotes, etc.

Earlier for me. I win.

And I spend even less, when the software I paid for worked like it's supposed to.

Huh?????????

I'll take "non-sequitors" for $2,000 please, Alex.

It's NOT a non-sequitor--obviously the way that *I* handle finances trumps many others--are you older than 42 and STILL working full-time? I thought..so. I don't waste money by HAVING to have the latest version of PAID software, bottled water, wide-screen TV, smart phone, etc..

I download into several brokerage accounts, and I get along fine also. But, I get to take advantage of the features of the program, and I don't have to enter all of those dividend transactions.

Well, that is what works for you, but it certainly isn't for everyone.

I retired at 56. If I had to be frugal in my retirement, I would have continued to work longer. I'm enjoying my retirement very much. That seems to me to be the only way to do it.

You also get to bitch and whine, ON A REGULAR BASIS, when the downloads malfunction.

Being frugal is not throwing away money on bullshit.

One man's roof is another man's floor. One man's treasure is another man's junk. One man's bullshit is another man's fertilizer.

No, I don't bitch and whine. I usually just try it again, and it works.

I like having the freedom to "throw away" money on frivolous things. I don't need government or a nanny telling me what is "worthwhile."

The way you handle finances works for you. It may not work well for others.

I don't HAVE to have any of those things. I *want* to have some of them, and I'm willing to exchange some of my personal time to have them.

Therefore, to use your method of argument ("Whatever I do is teh awesome, whatever you do sUx0rs"), your lifestyle sucks!!!!!111!!!!!
