I own the most current edition of Money and I use it to manage our family's finances (3 credit cards, 2 banks, 9 bank accounts, brokerage accounts, bills, etc.) I've been using Money for about 10 years. I've got a page-long list of complaints with Money but I'm reluctant to switch to Quicken (or another product) because of my personal investment in Money. Money is bloated, poorly organized, and doesn't give me the information I need in a manner that I want it. It can't produce a simple budget. Reconciling credit card statements is a nightmare. It's clear that Microsoft gave up on Money years ago. The switch to another system will be painful but I'm glad that Microsoft is forcing me to do so. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should switch to? Thanks.

I've had very good experiences with Quicken. I was using 2006 until a few months ago, when I had to upgrade to 2009 in order to retain download-capability. I don't agree with this policy to disable downloading even if it CAN work... but that's what it is. Quicken does this every 3 years, so be prepared for that... but otherwise it works very well for me. I preferred it over Money years ago, and haven't had a reason to go to MSMoney ever again.

don't underestimate how useful a excel/googledocs/whatever spreadsheet could be in a situation such as yours. multiple accounts kinda favor such a setup, imo.

Mint.com is VERY well organized and shows you what you need to know, but it terms of migrating, you'll have to basically start from scratch.
