"Valuable Time-Saving Guide"
If you own "Money 2005 for Dummies", you don't need "Money 2006 for Dummies", because the editorial content appears to be virtually identical in the two books. However, this manual is a real time-saver if you're trying to learn to navigate the powerful Microsoft Money program.

Microsoft Money has an unusually unfriendly user interface that hides locations for tools and custom-user settings in many unlikely places. Accessing the Microsoft help files requires going online, and the online files--written in the usual unhelpful Microsoft style--do not answer power-user questions. This book provides a desktop reference that aids you in setting up your initial financial files, and in understanding how the Money program is put together, so that you can quickly take full advantage of the multitude of wonderful things that the Money program can do for you.

"Get Money's help in improving your financial picture"
Pardon me for being immodest and giving this book five stars. I'm the author.

I wrote this book is for users of the Money 2006 Standard, Deluxe, and Premium editions (this book does not cover Microsoft Money 2006 Small Business edition). This book is for people who want to get to the heart of Money 2006 without wasting time. Don't look in this book to find out how Money works. Look in this book to find out how you can manage your finances with Money.

I show you everything you need to know to stay on top of your finances -- from recording checks and deposits to tracking your investments and planning for your retirement. On the way, you have a laugh or two. And you shed light on parts of your finances that have never seen the light of day before.

After you start using the techniques I describe in this book, you will know how to record financial transactions, how much you spend in different areas, and what your net worth is. You will know what the investments you have are worth and roughly how much you owe in taxes. You will know how to print checks, generate reports and charts that show in clear terms what your spending habits are, plan for retirement, and analyze different kinds of investments.

Most important, you will be able to make wise financial decisions by taking advantage of the Money's numerous financial analysis tools, all of which I explain in this book. And you will also make wise decisions, because you will have the raw data on hand. After you record transactions in Money, the raw data is right there inside your computer. I show you how to analyze it, scrutinize it, dissect it, investigate it, and contemplate it.

This book is for people who want to make wise use of Money 2006 and get the program's help in improving their financial picture.

What our customer's say!

"Wizard Walk-throughs", I bought this book to help me figure out the quirks of Money. But the more I flip through the book for answers the more frustrated I become. Basically, Mr Weverka just adds words around Money's dialog box wizards. If you're trying to do anything beyond the basics, this book won't help you. If you're looking for answers to tricky points like these, look elsewhere:

- I get paid on the 1st and 15th of every month. In case of a weekend or holiday, I'll get paid before. For example, if the 1st is a Saturday, I'll get paid the 30th or 31st of the previous month. The problem: Money's budgeting program puts this income in the previous month. So the previous month I get three paychecks, and the current month I get one. I looked for a solution in the book and found nothing. My best solution through trial and error: edit the transaction date to trick Money into thinking I got the deposit on the 1st.

- How to set up accounts for stock options, including a portion that's been exercised and being held. No mention in the book about this. Mr Weverka simply puts words around Money's Stock Option dialog boxes (which are very simple). Solution: set up separate accounts for held options -- found this solution after digging around online.

- Working the kinks out between Money tracking your gross income versus your basic accounts recording net income. Mr Weverka doesn't even mention the difference, let alone how to track the difference. He simply walks you through which buttons to press in the budgeting area. Oh, click "OK" after I enter my income? Thanks.

Bottom line, if you can follow on-screen directions, don't bother with the book. At the very least just borrow it from your library to get familiar with the program. If you need answers to more complex questions--although I wouldn't even consider mine particularly complex--search elsewhere.

"Great for getting started, but missing what I was really looking for", I bought Microsoft Money 2007 Premium a few weeks ago. The interface was intuitive enough that I was able to get it set up and running without much trouble. I was also able to set up online functions with my various bank and investment accounts, including some institutions that are capable of automated updates, and some that require a manual download. Everything worked pretty slick, and transactions were rolling in nicely.

With all the data streaming in, I worked hard trying to figure out Money's balancing process, what it really means and how to assure everything balanced out and returned accurate figures for net worth, spending by category, investment values, etc. I got stuck with certain types of transfers from one account to another that were throwing off my reporting and decided I needed a book to help me learn the finer points.

I found that there is no book for 2007. I read that the changes from 2006 were minimal, so I ordered "Microsoft Money 2006 For Dummies" by Peter Weverka.

I found the book easy to read, topics easy to find, and I was able to get some answers on some basic questions, such as accurately splitting transactions across categories. I also liked the tips on how to more easily do the things I had already figured out, such as Find and Replace to edit transactions en masse. There are helpful warnings for potential pitfalls, which I don't think I'd have figured out on my own (at least not without pain).

My impression (totally subjective, of course) is that the author enjoys working with finances (and is really good at it), and recommends that we all take time to be careful and smart with our money. His book's advice, I thought, leaned toward manually handling accounts and taking a lot of time reconciling and balancing accounts.

I wish I were so inclined, but I really purchased Money for just about the opposite purpose! I'm more into letting the whiz-bang software do the work for me, in as automated a way as possible. I want to download the data from the bank, not enter it manually and then reconcile. After reading the book, I still do not know how to cope with the complicated volumes of data downloaded from my broker accounts: buys and sells, shifting of money from one fund to another, etc. There are only 24 pages out of 328 (one section) that are devoted to online banking. I was hungry for more.

I'm glad I have the book, and plan to give it another read through to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'll also keep looking for a book with more advanced information about the online features of Money.
