I'm trying to figure out how to add an asset whose value must be simply entered for a given date. This would include vehicles (e.g. $20000 on 1/1/2000; $8000 (book value) on 1/15/2008) (and coin/stamp collections, etc. whose absolute value can be estimated and simply tracked).
Is entering an initial value on a date into the register, and then using "deposits" and "withdrawals" the way to do this? If so, it seems odd to me as it requires me to compute the difference, which is what I'd think the program would do for a property asset.
I'm new to Quicken, and have the latest, Quicken for Mac 16.0.1 - R2. (so if I've read things correctly here, I may be missing some features).
Thanks, John
