Bring Back Microsoft Money

Am I the only person who wishes Microsoft would bring back Microsoft Money? I used the program when it was put out by Microsoft and I wish I could still use the program. I know I could likely get the same things from QuickBooks, but I would really like it if Microsoft would bring back Microsoft Money.

I miss Windows Movie Maker, their solitaire games, Pinball, and numerous other things that used to be included with other versions of Windows. I used to have Microsoft Money on an older phone. I miss it too.

I started to convert to a newer version (I think it was 2006) but realized I would have to relearn the entire thing and transfer all the accounts etc to it. Decided to lose the on line updating of market prices and stick with what I know. It has worked flawlessly and has all my history for years so I can compare different years expenses etc. It transfers to newer computers without a hitch so far.

the program? I've been stuck using Quicken since then. I use the program and generally have to buy a new version of Quicken if I get a new laptop. Knock on plastic it's been 2016 since I've had to upgrade but I feel it won't be long now before I'll have to upgrade.

How in the world have you been able to migrate Money? I'm jealous as all heck

I have the 2017 version which is the last one. Now you have to use an online version and pay a yearly fee (or monthly?). Nope.

I can no longer upload transactions but I’m fine with that.

See below...someone says you can download it from Microsoft.

I could see if the disk would copy to Google drive...wonder what kind of problems that would present. If they don't support it, I don't see how they could complain about passing it on for free.

I track all my financials on a spreadsheet that I created, using a free on-line office program.

Started out pretty simple, and has grown into a bigger more complete picture. Entries are simple and it tracks pretty well, if I do say so myself. I used Quicken for a few years, but what matters is entering the data, not the package.
