Subject: Re: Budget Software
my first criterion for budgeting and investment tracking software is that it be entirely downloadable and entirely usable without any further connection to the Internet. I don't have anything in any third party cloud; that way I have nothing in the wind when (not if) the cloud gets hacked. - Eric

Exactly, security and peace of mind are reason enough to forego these packages. even with the advertised ease of data collection. I don't care, even if the software is free, there is no way I give it all my passwords. I am the one and only entity that has access to my entire financial universe and my gut tells me to keep it that way.
