Smoothing Annual Expenses

the_scottster

I'd like to show a fixed amount (say $1,000 a month) that represents my annual bills such as property tax, property insurance, etc. Is there a way to do this? I have excluded by tax and insurance payments from my spending plan because they represent such a huge spike.

Right now the only way to do this is to set up a savings goal with a recurring monthly contribution in the amount you determine to cover these annual expenses. When the expenses are paid out you will want to mark them exclude from spending plan since you have, in essence, been "paying" these expenses monthly via your SG contribution.

OK. I opened a feature request for this:
