• By showing how much you’ll have left in your account until your next paycheck, the new Quicken can help you avoid overdraft fees and penalties.
• The new Quicken home page puts all your most important financial information in one place so that you can quickly and easily see how you’re doing.
• With improved menu and toolbar, you can easily find the tools you need to help you organize your finances.
• The improved account registers make it faster and easier to review your downloaded transactions so you can ensure your data is accurate and quickly identify suspected fraud.
• You can get help from Quicken Live Community without ever leaving Quicken.

I have been using Quicken Home & Business to track my investments for years and am quite happy with the software. Though I don’t use it for other things (just tracking investments, not spending, and not budgeting), I am still considering upgrade to the latest version (my current version is 2008) because of the improvements mentioned above. In fact, Intuit is offering a little incentive to promote the new Quicken. From now till November 1, when you buy a qualified Quicken product, you can get a free copy of Quicken WillMaker ($20 value), $20 off the regular price plus free shipping (all products also available in downloadable version). Products included in this promotion are:

• Quicken Deluxe ($59.99, Promotion price $39.99): Makes budgeting and organizing your personal finances easy;  avoid late fees and penalties, control spending, and reduce debt
• Quicken Premier ($89.99, Promotion price $69.99): Makes budgeting and organizing your personal finances easy; Grow your net worth with help on maximizing your investment portfolio
• Quicken Home & Business ($99.99, Promotion price $79.99): Easily organize and manage your personal and your home-based business finances, all in one place
• Quicken Rental Property Manager ($149.99, Promotion price $129.99): Easily organize and manage your personal and rental property finances, all in one place

If you want to learn more about the latest Quicken products, there’s a short video from Intuit (go to the site if you can’t see the video) with highlights of each product.

Of course, if you don’t want to pay for the software, you can always use Quicken Online, which is free of charge for every one (see my Quicken Online review for details).

BTW, Quicken is running a Free Rent Twitter Sweepstakes starting today, October 15th, with $2,500 prize money up for grabs. Check out www.quickenfreerent.com for rules and how to participate.

We bought our daughter a Britax Marathon Convertible when she was 5 months old and she used it until our second daughter was about the same age. After nearly four years, the seat is still in very good condition and we are very happy with its quality. Comparing to other brands of car seats we own (one Graco and one Eddie Bauer), Britax is the best. The car seat is easy to install and secure. Once installed (we use latches, not seat belt), the seat never moved. Even though the Britax seat is a little pricey, we think it’s worth the money.

Check out the Britax car seats sale event at Amazon to see which seats are for sale if you are shopping for a reliable car seat.

Amazon.com also has Earth’s Best Organic Infant Formula on sale. The regular price for a 25.75 ounce container is $29.99, but now you can get 15% off with promotion code IVZNMZ8Y at the checkout. If you use Amazon’s Subscribe & Save service, you can save another 15%, bringing the total cost of one container down to $17.50. Good deal?

Federal Reserve released its third quarter Flow of Funds Accounts of the United States today. According to the report, U.S. households lost $2.8 trillion in value from July to September to a total of $56.539 trillion. That’s a 4.7% decline from the second quarter. But this is not the first quarterly decline this year. In fact, U.S. household net worth has been shrinking since the four quarter of 2007, when the current recession began. Household net worth peaked in the third quarter of 2007 and has been declining since then. For the first three quarters of this year, Americans have lost a total of $3.2 trillion, most of that in the third quarter.

As the above chart shows, during the last recession, household net worth also declined for three straight years after peaking in 1999. How long will this one last?

Not all number in the report are bad, though. For example, the report says that for the first time ever since the Fed started tracking in 1952, household debt actually declined by 0.8% last quarter to a total of $13.91 trillion.  So people are really cutting back.

Now Fidelity has another card offer with the same rewards level, not the shrunk version of 1.5% now with Fidelity 529 College Rewards Card from American Express. With the new Fidelity Retirement Rewards American Express Card, you can

• Earn 2 points for each $1 you spend on purchases;
• Reach 5,000 points after you make $2,500 in purchases and $50 can be automatically swept into your Fidelity IRA as a current year contribution or other Fidelity account;
• Enjoy more flexibility with additional WorldPoints rewards options, including travel, merchandise, travel, and other rewards.

And the card doesn’t have an annual fee. Like the 529 College Card, the Retirement Card is also managed by FIA Card Service (hope the rewards won’t be cut later like FIA did with the 529 card). The cashback earned with the Retirement can be automatically invested in a Fidelity IRA retirement account. However, if you choose to take cash, there will be a 1% fee when redeeming the rewards.

Sounds good?

Check it out to see if you like the card.

BTW, the way I see credit cards rewards is like this: I am not using the card just to get the rewards. It’s the other way around: I get rewards because I use the card to buy stuff I have to buy

I brought a wireless router with me when I left. I thought using a wireless connection can make things a little easier when I was guesting at my parents’ home. However, one thing I forgot was also getting a voltage adapter because in China, the voltage is 220V, not 110V, but the router takes only 110V input. I couldn’t find a converter like this in China, so I ended up having to use a cable all the time This morning, when I saw this RCA AH260R Dual Wattage Voltage Adapter & Voltage Converter Kit on Buy.com, I ordered one immediately. The listed price is $49.99, but now it’s on sale for $12.99 with free shipping. Next time when I travel outside the country, I will remember to bring this with me

They also have a cute 1.5″ LCD Heart Shaped Photo Keychain on sale at $9.99 with free shipping. The keychain has a rechargable battery and can store up to 60 images. Not sure about the quality of the image (can’t be too good for sure), but it can be a nice little gift.

Also, Buy.com Brother HL-2140 Personal Laser Printer for $54.99 after $20 mail-in rebate. Laser printer is getting cheaper and cheaper these days. When I bought my HP LaserJet 1000 in 2002, it cost me more than $250 And it’s amazing that after 6 years, I am still using the original cartridge that came with the printer. Sure I only print when absolutely necessary, but still one toner for 6 years is pretty good Shipping for the Brother printer is free and the rebate expires on March 1.

I purchased the toothbrush back in December 2007 when it was first offered and have received the $50 gift card. In addition, there’s a special offer in the package which gives a $10 prepaid cash card for completing a short online survey (5 minutes). I don’t know if the special offer will be included this time, but if it is, then the total cost will be reduced to just $59.99!
