QUICKEN VS MINT UPDATE
From this I can figure out our average spending for each category, update the monthly budget (when just starting it's hard to figure out how much to allocate to each category), and identify some fat to trim from the family spending. Once a year I do some major number crunching to look at our family spending. Although the initial setup takes some time (figuring out your budget categories, setting up naming rules, etc.) the data you can then look back on is worth it. The ability to use tags (in addition to budget categories) lets me look at expenses that span categories but are all related such as for a business trip (food, transportation, lodging). I run a simple budget of <10 categories (when I first started, I got way too detailed with too many categories) and review everything once a week (again, when I first started I was tempted to look at everything every day or two). Things may have improved since then, however.
QUICKEN VS MINT PC
Moreover, I had to chose to either buy a PC or a Mac copy and then work exclusively on that platform.
QUICKEN VS MINT FOR MAC
When I looked into this very question a few years back I went with Mint - Quicken for Mac just didn't seem that great, and I got the impression is wasn't as capable as the PC version. I'm a Mac (family desktop, iPhones, iPad) and PC (laptop) user.
QUICKEN VS MINT MANUAL
Dynamic sync with my accounts (avoid manual entry) and would like that dynamic sync to auto categorized if possibleīased on where I'm at, and my long-term goals, is Quicken worth the money or should I go with Mint?.

Here are the features I assume I'll be using most in the short term: I'm currently using Google Docs, and my biggest issue there is that it's difficult to visualize the information when you're entering a lot of details. I plan to use whatever budgeting tool I choose long term. I am not thinking about investing yet (other than my existing 401k and Roth IRA - which I plan to continue contributing but will not even try to move around the money until I'm more acquainted with this forum, the books I'm reading, and have developed a real investment plan). I need to plan a monthly budget, allocate a specific amount to savings and begin building an emergency fund. My first priority is getting my house in order. I've read the Getting Started portion of the wiki, and am currently 1/4 into Boglehead's Guide to Investing. I figure I should start on the right foot by understanding exactly where I need to cut back, save, etc.

I've had some fun years in my early 20's (dedicated to living 'the life') and I'm now trying to buckle down and plan for the long haul. I'm new to the forum and new to the discipline of saving. I know this has been discussed a lot but I haven't seen many posts about the Quicken 2015 version for Macs.
