You see the Money Setup Assistant the first time you start Microsoft Money. The Setup Assistant walks you through each step of the process of creating accounts and entering bills. Use it to enter basic information about:

• Yourself and your spouse or partner, if applicable.
• Your Internet connection (see Figure 1-4).

• Your financial priorities.
• Your bank and brokerage accounts.
• Your paychecks.
• Your recurring bills.

By answering the questions in the Setup Assistant, your Money file is built automatically, helping you get started quickly. Enter as much or as little information as you want. You can add or revise information later.
