If everyone took responsibility for their finances we wouldn't be in the mess we are in as a country. Wait, we probably would be. It's important for people to just go out and get what they want. I mean this figuratively in the sense that they should go out and find a way to achieve their goals which in turn will allow them to buy the fancy gadget or new car you were referring to.

You might want to check out the a href="https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page">Quicken Community Forums</a> at the Quicken Site for some more help there. As to your categories question I found this article at the Quicken site you might want to <a href="http://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/using-quicken/income-and-expenses/4452.html" rel="nofollow">look at</a>. In general you can find some beginner data at http://quicken.intuit.com/support/windows.jsp. Hope that helps.
