Money 98 and Money 99 provide support and advice for Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs). If you upgrade from an earlier version of Money, or convert from Quicken, your loans are converted as fixed-rate loans. Money maintains any past interest rate history. To take full advantage of Money support for ARMs, you need to update these types of loans to Adjustable Rate Mortgages.
