I'm new to Quicken, (using Classic on windows) I have watched a lot of the start-up videos, I have linked my accounts, and created a budget, but this software makes me feel completely incompetent. The allocated budget goals are not rolling over from last month. It's not recognizing my income deposits because the consulting firm I use put "transferred funds" in the description so Quicken thinks it's transferred from a different account, which it isn't. I can't figure how how to see what money is actually in my account, and what money has been used for the budget category because if I don't want to spend it and just leave it to roll over, it doesn't recognize it as being spent and it's not rolling it over. (yes, I clicked on the rollover toggle last month but it doesn't seem to do anything) so this months budget shows zeros for everything…. I'm soooooooooooo frustrated.

Is there a coach or someone who can help or direct me to a book that will actually help instead of just giving me the same start-up info over and over and over again? I followed the start-up menu, and nothing is matching up. Whats in the bank, and one the budget and what is actually budgeted is not lining up. What do I need to do or who can help me learn this software?

Thanks…
