Set flexible spending targets for regular expenses like entertainment and home expenses and then check your progress as you go through the month.
  
  Improved! More easily categorize your expenses
  As in Quicken Deluxe, a reorganized and redesigned menu makes it easier than ever to categorize your expenses. You can also add extra details to any expense to help jog your memory—i.e., the specific restaurant for a dining expense or the trip destination for an airline ticket.
  
  Improved! Smarter navigation makes it easier to access the tools you need
  Like Quicken Deluxe, easier navigation makes it faster to get around and discover the features and tools that work best for you. Tabs let you quickly switch between Quicken’s main pages. And a new interactive account bar makes it clear which of your accounts you are working with at any given moment.
