Setting budget amounts

climbrck

Can anyone tell me how to set my budget amount in Quicken (Version 7.2.1)? It's really not very intuitive or easy to figure out. All I can see is what Quicken thinks my budget is but I want to reset it.

cheers.

Just figured it out.. I have to go unto budget, edit, open budget, select each row, zero it out, then zero out the total.. Wow.. just wow… a RMB edit would be real nice Just like Quicken, the UI here sucks too. Can't even figure out how to delete this post.

Sorry to be such a downer here on my first post but QUICKEN… really you need a UI team..

If you create a budget with a start date of last year (e.g. 1/2022), and then change the start date of the budget to 1/2023, you'll see this dialog box which allows you to create the current-year budget with all zero values so you don't need to zero out categories manually:
