[GNC] getting help

[R Losey]

It would help if you provided a bit more information than merely "Ludite"
[Luddite]: have you used anything before to track your finances? Quicken; a
spreadsheet; pen and paper; nothing? If you've never done any tracking of
finances previously, there is a lot more to pick up than just GnuCash...
for example, you'll have to get in the habit of keeping receipts and
setting aside time to enter the data.

I used Quicken for many years, and switched to GnuCash around 2016... even
though Quicken is not truly double-entry, I didn't really have much of a
problem with GnuCash (except that I confess I do still get the "debit" and
"credit" side confused - I use the simplified labels).

I'm very happy with GnuCash (I use it for tracking personal finances; not
to run a business). Having said that, the reports in Quicken are much
better "out of the box"; I have some customized GnuCash reports that I use,
but I had a tough time getting reports to work.

I also did not bother importing my data from Quicken; I just started anew
(but I did do some investment stuff)

This is a very friendly and helpful group.
