I installed Quicken Deluxe for Windows 2009 this week and started a new family budget with Anna as of September 1st, 2009. Its the start of a new school year for Eilis, Granuailes first time in school, and Brighid in college. This is a transitional month for me at work, either to a new position or a new location.

With the changes and cuts in Microsoft Money, I returned to Quicken for the first time since 1997. Other then a few questions on linked accounts in reporting loans and assets, everything so far went smoothly.

I did contact Wachovia and get off of the zzzWachovia financial account, or was it zWachovia ? Anyway, it was the code for older accounts that started with First Union Bank. As a long time FUNB customer, we did not want to start a new slate and have to continue to use an older account and an account name and password that we cannot change to keep the accounts secure.

Always change your passwords on financial accounts at a minimum every 3 or 6 months. More often if you have a common password for everything. Keep finances on one list of passwords, and general stuff on the rest. I mean really, do you see the problem with using your super secret password to get onto someones website as you use to access your 401(k)?

Password security is your responsibility
