Hello,
Being relatively new to Quicken, I am challenged to understand something and welcome all constructive feedback.
My goal, using Quicken Premier 2009, is to create spending reports that track net income and spending: at this point I am not yet interested in tracking payroll deductions. Eventually, yes, but small steps first, I think. As I understand it, if I want to easily see just 'net' information, the straightforward way to do that is track net pay only.
But it seems that tracking payroll deductions (esp. 401(k) deductions & contributions) will give me a more complete picture of where money is going.
So, how should I create spending accounts that do not include payroll deductions? I am having trouble with this and perhaps I am just complicating things ... thanks for your help.
