Can you tell me what it adds? Quicken Companion has been around for a few years and is an adjunct to Quicken. The features of the Quicken Companion have been incorporated into Quickken Deluxe. these features are the Home Inventory (well worth the price), Estimated tax computer, Q-Quote. I did not buy Quicken Deluxe because I just felt that it was not worth the $59. Now I wish I had. TTYL ...

This "account" is *separate* from but tied directly into my checking account; i.e., each account has it's own balance but each balance is tied into my checking balance. I can contribute and withdraw funds as needed. I use this account" as my "overdraft protection." To set up a savings goal: 1. From the Plan menu, choose Savings Goals. 2. Click New. 3. Enter a name, amount, and finishing date for the savings goal. The name you enter will be the name of the account used to track the savings goal. 4. Click OK. The Savings Goals window shows your Projected Monthly Contribution in the lower right corner of the window. This is the amount that you should set aside each month in order to achieve your goal. *How* *can* *I* *see* *my* *actual* *bank* *balance* *when* *I* *have* *money* *in* *a* *savings* *goal* *account?* When you set aside money in a savings goal account, Quicken keeps track of both your actual bank balance (what your bank statement will say) and the balance of your account without the money you've set aside for your savings goal. To see your actual bank balance: Select the Hide Goal Txns. checkbox in the register of the account you've contributed money from. I think this answers your question. Let us know if we can help you further. :^) PEACE!! >> Derrick D.
