    Question You-Need-A-Budget?

    Anyone here with experience with this program? DH and I downloaded a trial version. We can't figure out how to get it to quit counting our long term savings (EF) as money to spend in our budget.

    As per the directions, it says to create a new account and under "account type," to select "investment account" or "other asset" to set up a long-term savings that is not tracked in the budget.

    I tried it, and it seemed to work.

    Thanks. I suggested that to DH last night and his response was "That's not right." Anyway, now I can tell him it's official. The people on FV even said it! Thanks Madhen.
