GnuCash vs. Quicken

[McComas, Stacey]

Read the "10 minute guide to accounting".  It does a great job of explaining
double-entry accounting, and will help you set up your accounts in gnucash.

It can be a bit tedious setting everything up at first, but you'll find it
to be no more work than Quicken after the first few times.

Subject: GnuCash vs. Quicken


I have been using Quicken for many years but am now considering switching
to GnuCash.  I am having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around
double-entry accounting.  I asked my accountant friend about this and he
said "Forget it - keep on using Quicken!  For your personal finances
double-entry accounting is overkill and you will soon get tired of it!"
What are your opinions?  I am having a hard-enough time keeping up-to-date
with my single-entry Quicken accounting.  Is GnuCash right for me?

Thanks in advance

Thomas
