The Deluxe and Business version is meant for small business applications, covering such things as payables and receivables. The help files are especially good. As installed, Money initially used 56.1 MB of hard disc space. In order to get started, with the CD-ROM disc in your drive, the Setup Assistant uses both audio and visual questions to lead you through telling Money about yourself, to set up your accounts, and set up your recurring income and expense items. The first time you use this Assistant, it is almost a shock to have a pleasant male or female voice telling you what will happen and asking the questions.
Money makes extensive use of visual and audio aids throughout.
It is a lot easier than reading a manual. Setting up my accounts and recurring income and expense items took me about three hours, primarily because I had to look up the names of the check recipients and the date the bills were due, as well as the amounts. After the accounts are set up, you enter the expense items as if you were writing checks, specifying the payee, the account, the amount, check number and date. You enter your deposits just as you would in your checkbook. With this done, Money digests all the information and presents it to you in very convenient ways.
