For those who have vowed that 1999 is the year they will organize their finances,
Quicken Deluxe 99: Fast & Easy is an intuitive guide that will take some of the stress out of financial management. Designed for beginning computer users, the book helps you get into Quicken and then uses labeled screen shots to walk you through exactly what you'll see and where to insert each piece of information. Step-by-step lessons show you how to set up your checking, savings, cash, and credit-card accounts; record your transactions; and balance your accounts.
After you learn the basics, the guide offers lessons on more-customized features, such as scheduling payment dates for bills; calculating your net worth; and tracking your assets, liabilities, mortgage payments, and investments. Quicken Deluxe 99's welcoming format even makes loathsome tasks, such as creating a payment plan for debt reduction or calculating your tax return, less daunting. The book closes with software-installation instructions and a brief chapter on how to get onto the Internet. A short glossary defines financial terms for budding budgeters. --Cristina Vaamonde
