Saving goals are features of Quicken Deluxe, Premier, and Premier Home & Business only.  \n\nHowever, you can setup an expense category for your goal and track it there.  Everytime you save for the goal, enter a transaction and select the goal.  You'll be able to generate income/expenses report to view the progress.

If you would sign up for an account at a financial institution you can arrange to have your investments done automatically for you.  For example, you could set it up so the 1st of every month you buy $250 of IBM stock.  Each monthly transaction might cost you $5 flat regardless of the amount or number of shares involved.\n\nAs an incentive to join, they may offer six or twelve FREE automatic investments where the $5 is waived for six or twelve months.  Since you could have set up a couple of automatic investments (IBM and Microsoft, for example), they can't really advertize the first six months no commission, so they simply say six free automatic investments/purchases.

One question per customer....lol\n\nForce yourself to save by taking money out of your account or check automatically.  Your 401k (if you have one) can accomplish that. So can automatic deductions for mutual funds (say $50 a month).\nTake the money out first and you'll not be able to spend it!!!

Here's how -\n\n1. From Columns A to F enter the following headings:\nDate, Pay To, Description, Cash In, Cash Out, Balance (or you can add/change headings later once you get the concept)\n\n2. Enter the following formula in the "Balance" cell (F2) -\n=sum(F1, D2:E2), then copy this cell all the way down\n\n3. Remember to always add a "negative sign" whenever entering a number in the "Cash Out" column

You dont really have to get too technical here. Just keep a notedpad handy or a piece of paper in your wallet/purse and write down how much you spent and what you bought on all your purchases. Thats it. If you want to get fancy you can categorize them to bills, gas, food etc.... Keep it simple. Usually after a month you realize where most of your "lost" money is going.

Well if the premier program is anything like the regular program, you do the depositing through the accounts section. Once you set up the Checking or savings account you then go back and select that account and click "deposit" and the box will come up asking date, amount ect. Otherwise you can do it in the accounts section directly from the list and make sure you select deposit instead of payment when the option box comes up.

they are not priced they are determined by the amount of time you want to lock in your money.  For instance you have $10000.00 okay.  You want to lock it away for 90 days at 4.5% apr.  If you pull your money out before 90 days that will penalize you something like 6 months interest.  You can't add fund until the CD matures.  You can add if you want to roll it over and do it all again or you can pull your money.

I HATE it.  Honestly, thye never take out more, but they pick and choose what day to take it out, and I never really know how much money I have in my account. DON'T DO IT!

Use your own money, in small increments or save it until you have enough.

How much is enough to retire on depends on your expenses, the inflation rate, etc. If it is tax-deferred, don't forget about taxes when you withdraw the money.\n\nHere is a simple savings calculator that ignores taxes and inflation. It shows that the $200,000 will grow to $807,748 after 20 years.\nhttp://www.planningtips.com/cgi-bin/savings.pl\n\nHere's a similar calculator with a more fun interface:\nhttp://www.quicken.com/banking_and_credit/savings_calc/\n\nHere is another savings calculator, that lets you adjust for inflation:\n\nhttp://www.cu-village.com/village_calculators/calculators/sc.html\n\nThe effect of 3.00% annual inflation over 20 years translates $807,747.77 into $443,633.42 in today's dollars.

figure out how much money you make in a given period of time (a month, a week, whatever). now, subtract essential things. rent, gas money, electricity bill, etc. \nnow, figure out how much is left. THAT number is how much you've been wasting. lol. so, you need to change it. cut back things that arent necesary. how much do you need to spend to have fun? figure out what's a fair figure to spend on yourself, and set that as a limit. but the majority of your extra cash should go in the bank. and make sure you're paying off the cards as aggressively as you can. dont just pay the minimums, see how much extra you can throw at it.

You can open a basic savings account to accummulate the money at the beginning. Any major bank would support an online account.
