So, I am trying to use Quicken (on Windows 11, Windows Classic Deluxe) to do some analysis on what my retirement budget will be. I have created a budget, and I have hand picked the categories I wish to have included, so this means I excluded the Salary Income category.
However, no matter how I try, the budgeting tool continues to include previous Salary averages into my projections. I can edit the budget for May 2024 (when I plan to retire) as much as I want, it still includes the averages into the overall budget number (claiming I am on budget, which I am not), and the graphical chart being presented.
Help me fix this before I resort to using Excel.
