How to track personal allowances and other budgeted pre-designated amounts

Question

Hi. I'm converting my personal finances from Google Sheets to Quicken. In Google Sheets, I have amounts set aside for various purposes, personal allowances, emergency fund, school fund. These amounts are all included in the primary checking account. What is the best way to show the balances and track the transactions for these funds?

"However, it would be improved by finding a way to link them to the 
primary accounts so that the balances are taken directly into account,"Click the gear wheel over the Accounts Bar and select "Show savings goal transactions in registers and reports."  That will reduce the balance in the Account to show that money is "gone."
