Just for grins and giggles, I decided to see what happened if I re imported the exported file from Quicken (export to a qif file, then re import it).
I think I found where the Enron accountants. $50,000 in expenses weren't transferred, five years of income were even mention (an $87,000 deficit) and a $77,000 loan was left as a debit, rather than the asset it was.
All in all, a net worth of two hundred thousand is transformed into $80 in debt. Thanks Intuit, for this reassuring little exercise.
And while we're at it, I'll be arbitrarily changing your names as I go, because chowderheaded fools meets my criterion quite well.
Say, maybe someone could write a simple accounting program that would work just a like a checkbook, and keep track of your income and expenses. Think there might be a market for such a product?
Oh well, I didn't have anything else to do this year end, a major paper chase while I change to another package will just fill in the time nicely.
