Everything Else
is a collection of categories that can be avoided. Go to the planning tab, and click the Manage Budget Categories button. You should now have a list of all your categories. It you have sub-categories you must do the following to AVOID having to deal with
Everything Else
.
I will use the following example. I have two homes and keep the expenses separate from each other. I start with the main category Home-WP. I have attached a screen shot of some of these categories. Under Home-WP there are sub-categories for Insurance, Maint, Mortgage, Projects, Property Taxes, Utilities. Notice that fthe Parent categories
are not selected
but
the categories under the sub-categories
are
selected.
When adding transactions
make sure you do not, and I mean DO NOT,
categorize anything to a
Parent Category
. That will throw a monkey wrench into this big time. If you need to add another sub-category do that.
I have been doing this since I believe Quicken 2013 and I do not have to deal with EVERYTHING ELSE. By splitting my two homes in this manner I can get detailed reports for both homes, one home, or almost whatever I want to see.
