Does Balance Forecasting Still Exclude Budgeted Amounts?

I'm trying to find the best way to replicate envelope budgeting and thought perhaps I could use balance forecasting instead, but from what I've read thus far, it seems that Quicken does not include any budgeted amounts in the forecast, only actual bill reminders that have been entered which is kind of pointless as it doesn't take into considering other monthly ongoing expenses that are not necessary scheduled e.g. groceries, clothing etc.

Is this still the case? Anyone found a great way of accomplishing envelope budgeting on the Mac version of Quicken? It also seems to be missing Goals as well.

Any ideas/suggestions?

    Hello @MoMoney99,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your question.

    Unfortunately, Quicken for Mac does not currently include budgeted amounts in the projected balances, nor does it offer the ability for envelope budgeting and Savings Goals. Therefore, I'd like to refer you to this active Idea post regarding this budgeted amounts in the Projected balance instead as well as this active Idea post regarding Envelope Budgeting and this active Idea post which is currently also marked as Under Consideration regarding Savings Goals
