The easy answer is "it depends on what you do with it and with your finances." Both MS Money and Quicken (the 2 leaders in this field) do a good job of managing your checkbooks and credit cards. So you can judge for yourself if that by itself is sufficient justification for the expense.
The next step up in difficulty is helping with your taxes. Neither is of much value unless you have enough deductions to itemize. Then they both do a very good job, but now you also have to buy a tax creation program.
Finally, if you have significant investments, both will do a good job of tracking your "effective cost" which you must provide to the IRS when you sell stocks/bonds/mutual funds. If you have more than 60$ in investment income per year, these products pay for themselves in easing your management of tax data.

Depends on whether you need and would use the program. I don't use my computer for that kind of stuff. I just run a spreadsheet once in a while to add things up.
