How do I include Cash Accounts in the Lifetime Planning tool?

Question

I have several investment accounts that I set up as Cash Accounts in Quicken because I simply adjusted the monthly balance of these accounts instead of using Brokerage accounts and downloading much more detail than I wanted.  I have used these cash accounts for many years and recreating them as brokerage and 401k accounts is not a reasonable option.

I haven't figured out how to include them in the Savings or Investing section of the Lifetime Planning tool and it doesn't seem possible.  Cash accounts seem to be excluded from use in this tool.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :(

Cash accounts may be included as Savings Accounts in the Lifetime Planner.  I suggest you open the Lifetime planner, select Savings & Investments, and check Show excluded account.  Then, for each each excluded account that you wish to include in the plan, select the excluded account and uncheck Exclude from plan.
