I've Joined the 21st Century

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams NY Realty * Licensed Associate Broker

I have finally acquiesced and have joined the 21st century.  I got my first copy of Quicken.  It's actually sooooo 20th century, but what the heck - 21st sounds better.  ;-)  Yes, I am one of those people - I've struggled all these years with paper, pencil/pen and calculator.  LOL  Don't ask . . .

I ordered the brand new Quicken 2011 for Home/Business on Amazon (to save a few bucks) and targeted this afternoon to "set it up."  Figured I'd be done in a couple of hours, at the very most.  Wrong.  Just got off the phone with the bank.  Seems as though I have to fill out a form and fax it over and then they will have me set up in about 3 days or so.

Looks like I have to wait several days before I can actually join those who marvel at how quickly their Quicken takes care of all their financials. 

All these years I've been postponing this and now I can't wait.  I can be such a baby at times.  :-/

It will make your life so easy at tax time or when you need to know where you stand.  P&L statements are easy to generate and makes you want to keep track of the cash flow...it will also help you prepare for the once a year bills that sometimes skip from your mind till they arrive.  Good luck.

I am impressed you are on ActiveRain. Please tell me you have a smart phone. Careful not to take the time your new software gives you and fill it with only business. It seems the more gadgets we get the more we get done but somehow we do not have more free time.

LOL - Yes Matt, my Blackberry is 3 or 4 years old and ready to be replaced.  My next angst ridden decision is whether to go for an iPhone, Android or another BB.  Geez, by the time I decide, get through the learning curve and am up to date with everything, it'll be the end of the year.  :-)

I hear ya about the free time . . .

Sandy, I just purchased Quicken Home and Business 2011 in January from Costco.  I'm still learning to use it.  And I also just upgraded from a Blackberry to an HTC Inspire last month.  So you are not too much behind than I am.

LOL - Trang, sometimes I feel like I am in the dark ages.  LOL  The funny thing is that, compared to my area's agents, I am so far ahead of the game.  At least, when it comes to marketing on the Internet.  And I think I am in the dark ages with that as well.  Go figure. 

Know what's funny too?  I've never heard of an HTC Inspire!  Off to visit my best friend Goggle. ;-)
