A projection is only as complete as the balance sheet behind it. Leaving a mortgage out makes the plan look better than it is; leaving a paid-off house out makes it look worse.
Step by step
- Open Current Finances. Assets and liabilities are two views of the same screen.
- Add the item with its current value. Where a market price exists — precious metals, listed securities — Killion prices at market rather than at what you paid.
- Add liabilities with their balance and payment. Open liabilities are picked up automatically as fixed expenses in the Budget, so you do not have to enter the payment twice.
- Update when it changes. Manual values persist until you change them. A quarterly pass is usually enough for illiquid holdings.
