Which paid program?

I use Moneydance. I started using it when I decided to switch from Windows to Linux Mandrake and Quicken didn't have a Linux version. When I switched back to Windows 7 I stayed with Moneydance.

Can you import your MS Money accounts and transactions since I have 25 years of data?

Yes you can. It can be imported as a QIF file. I would strongly recommend to make sure you have a good backup first if you want to give it a try. I setup and entered all my January 2020 checking transactions into MS Money last night. I'm going to use it for awhile to see which program I prefer to use. I still haven't been able to increase the text size in MS Money. I'm going to keep trying.

Thanks - have noted Moneydance should MS Money stop working. I noted you have to export each Money account separately which is a pain if you have many accounts.

I can see how that would be a pain. I wonder why MS decided to discontinue MS Money seeing how a large number of people still use it.? When I Stopped using Linux and switched to Windows 7 I was going to go back to using Quicken. When I saw it was now a yearly subscription I decided to stay with Moneydance.

Edit: Thinking about Quicken I got curious about how their subscription worked and found out you only need to subscribe if you want to continue online support and/or online services. I may give the 30 day trial of Quicken a try. The only reason I switched from Quicken to Moneydance is because they didn't have a linux version.

Edit #2: I was going to try it. Their 30 day trial is a 30 day money back guarantee.
