Bro - Tell Pam that I like Microsoft Money (she was asking about it a few months ago) ...

... It's good, as long as you stay away from the Budget feature, which
screws up your data (!). Instead, record recurring payments using the
Bills & Deposits feature.

The cool thing about Microsoft Money is that once you've set up your
recurring Bills & Deposits, it shows you a "cashflow graph" i.e. how
your money will go up and down in the future (I don't think Quicken
has this). Very nice for visual people like me! All I gotta do is make
sure my "low point" for the year is above 0!
