It’s time to say goodbye to Microsoft Money
No, that headline doesn’t mean that Microsoft isn’t making money as in cash profits anymore. But Microsoft has decided to discontinue Microsoft Money, its personal finance application.
Microsoft will stop selling the application in June, although it will still be supported for another 18 months or so. After that point, you’ll still be able to use the software to manage your finances, but it won’t be able to get automated feeds from banks, credit cards, and other financial institutions. You’ll have to download or enter that information manually.
Normally, users get 2 years of service, but if you purchase Microsoft Money this month, the product will still only be supported until January, 2011. It might be time to look at Quicken or another personal finance package. What do you use to manage your finances? Pen and paper? Mint? Let us know in the comments.
