What is a MONEY file?

MONEY files mostly belong to Money by Jumsoft. MONEY files are a type of data storing file used by the discontinued personal finance management software Money, developed by Microsoft. These files store a variety of finance-related data such as account balances, user-created budgets, tracked expenses, share investments, transactions, and many more.

Deprecation: While their original popularity merited a few re-releases and continuations of the original software that used them, they have since fallen out of favor, with Microsoft scrapping the original Money and creating an extension for Excel of the same name which does not support MONEY files nor any type of automatic conversion to a supported format.
Associated programs: Other 3rd party personal finance solutions have seen the adoption of conversion support for the old MONEY files, however, as per the request of the users, such as Quicken developed by Quicken Inc..
