Quicken does offer a free version of financial software called Mint, but I'm not comfortable with that since it requires using their cloud. I don't want to take a chance of it being hacked.

Maybe it's not "free" anymore, then. I downloaded the program four years ago and just keep extending the same forms each year. Works fine.
