I've been at quicken for all of 2014 but I'm not sure I'm using it to its full potential.

2 questions for you right now...

Do you review any reports each month? What exactly are you looking for?

How do you handle checks that you cashed or ATM usages, the $20 that you don't exactly remember spending? Do you just post it as miscellaneous?

For Deposited checks, I will usually enter a category, and use the memo field for a description.
For ATM withdrawals, I will just list the category as Cash, and don't worry about tracking what it was used for.  I don't carry or use a lot of cash, so ATM withdrawals are rare for me.
