How can I create a zero-based budget?

cmcangie · September 2020

I like the tracking in Quicken, but I miss the capability to "give every dollar a job" and have running totals on things I save for throughout the year. Is there a way to set this up in Quicken? Thanks!

Maybe Savings Goals are what you are looking for?

goals#:~:text=Quicken%E2%80%99s%20Savings%20Goals%20feature%20helps%20you%20save%20money,register%2C%20thus%20reducing%20the%20account%20balance%20in%20Quicken.

Besides using savings goals like @bmciance suggests you can also use a category in the budget and use the rollover option to "save up" for the expense.
