	I've been using mym for almost 3 years now and have found it worth every
cent I paid for it (including 2 $50 upgrades). 

	I know very little about quicken so I can't compare the two.  I know
that mym has done everything I need of it and it can do much more then I'll ever
need. 

	The $50 fee buys you a software upgrade (which will typically include
new tax info, new features, and bug fixes), a newsletter (quarterly), and, last
year, a patch diskette (to fix some bugs). 

	The biggest problem I've had involved my pay check because it's really
complicated.  It took me a while to figure out how best to deal with it, but
I've done it.
