If you are having troubles with Quicken screwing up your financial records, you are not alone. I know that is not much comfort to find out that there are others who are having their decades of financial data trashed by Quicken.

You may want to read the Quicken community post Why, after downloading stock quotes today, has my portfolio incorporated a fictitious stock split for PRGO, completely messing up my information for this stock?. It’s not the post I wrote, but it is the one that mine got consolidated into.

Quicken tells me I have a certain amount of money. I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to find that Quicken has run off to South America with it or how ever much money I may actually have.

It’s going to be time consuming to switch my financial records to a different program and change all my daily procedures, but the time is drawing near. I hope Intuit isn’t screwing up my taxes as badly as they are screwing up my financial records.

Good luck with your Quicken loan, if you have one.

Oh, and remember to request a backup after every successful session you have with Quicken. I hope you have enough disk space. It can be a life saver.
