I have been using Quicken for almost 30 years. I make memo notes on some transactions. My spouse and I refer to it as the family diary and use it to answer questions such as: "Where (or when) did we buy that appliance", "In what year did we go to....", "Have we given to....."? Very easy to search. Also useful when making long term plans. Yes, I could do it with a spreadsheet, but I have deleted enough rows/columns and messed up enough formulas in my time that I very much appreciate all of Quicken's hardwired features!
