I got an email that my current version of Quicken will be no longer allow me to download data from my bank. If I want that I will now have to pay for an annual subscription for a new Quicken product. I used to buy it once and upgrade every three or four years. Now they are grabbing me by the balls.

Quicken is obnoxious. They forced me to upgrade the last time, and now it’s never accurate.

I’m going elsewhere.
