Envelope Budgeting (Q Mac)- (9 merged vote)

After reading the idea and comments, I don't think the original comment is really envelope budgeting. In envelope budgeting when you budget money to an envelope, you stop spending from it when it is empty until you are able replenish the envelope from your future inflows.

On the next budget period, you modify your envelope budgets based on what you learned. I don't see how you learn to budget well and stick to it if you add an afterthought option to just move stuff around. If you must change a budgeted category, you can do that right now by decreasing one budget amount and increasing the category you want to move it to. You don't need a program change to do that.

I am most seriously disappointed. I was under the impression that Quicken Deluxe can handle envelope budgeting. I subscribed today, spent my whole afternoon connecting accounts, copying my budget details in, and classifying transactions, only to discover that envelope budgeting DOES NOT EXIST ON QUICKEN FOR MAC. I chatted with a customer service agent this afternoon who confirmed immediately that the function exists for PC but there's no plan to add this feature for Mac. I am torn between crying and screaming and I am going to have to cancel my subscription.

@imdcareys This is a Quicken Mac thread and Quicken Mac doesn't have the Savings Goals feature.

Add my vote to adding this feature as well. I can do the math, but many of my expenses vary from month to month. Medical costs in particular are hard to predict. I know this is on the list for improvements, but maybe consider moving it up on the the list.

Please add rollover feature for budgeting. I will need to go back to old program if it is not released soon. So disappointed.

I agree with the others post, this functionality is longoverdue.

I'm a long time 25+ year Quicken Classic user, currently using Quicken Premier for Mac. I have anxiously longed for a true cloud-based (device agnostic) replacement or alternative to the desktop app that merges the best of the classic features with robust budgeting features that offers the envelope budget method with rollover. I understand your current product offerings are tailored for different needs. But what about the faithful long time user who wants all the features/bells/whistles - cloud-based, expense and income tracking, detailed investments tracking, real-time account connections, bill payment, robust reporting and analysis, real time mobile app, and state-of-the-art envelope budgeting. Today I have to buy both Quicken Classic AND a budgeting app to get all this. What's up with that? And why do you hate Mac users (not offering them the same features as Windows users)? I am a very loyal customer, but this doesn't make sense. You ought to have all the functions, or perhaps packaged in functional modules that allow the users to pick which modules they want to subscribe to. Is this notion even in your development roadmap for the future?
