I would like to see a consolidated cash flow forecast feature added-- while I can see the functionality in a single account in your tool-- I would ask for one additional feature in the UPCOMING --> CASH FLOW area-- i want to 'combine' two checking accts and one credit card account into ONE line graph---- is this possible? Currently you can pick/choose which accounts you want to see but they are still separate line graphs per account. Can this be added to a possible future feature list?

    If it helps, what I do is SCHEDULE (recurring reminders) the payments to those credit card, so if there's a scheduled charge for $10, I schedule a payment for $10 to match it from the checking account, keeping the credit card at '0' in the cash flow forecast, and keeping the checking account balance properly reflecting the amount avilable in that account, factoring in credit card charges.

    Thx Rob— I've been thinking of 'work-arounds' and this would do the trick.

    Yes I have bills and deposits flowing into and out of multiple accounts, cash flow projectuon is useless if I cannot select all the relevant accounts

    It got my vote, it seems like a good idea to be able to forecast net worth. On the cash flow page, that's what this particular line should probably be called, 'net worth'.

    EDIT: If you want it to exclude certain accounts (i.e. maybe investments and property), then net worth isn't the right name.

    @Coach Natalie The Title of this thread should probably be changed from "Upcoming…." to "Bills & Payments …" to reflect recent changes in Quicken Simplifi.

  • With direct deposits going into multiple checking accounts—not having the ability to merge accounts together to track multiple accounts in one plot is a huge bummer.

    If I understand correctly, it would be much better to have your cash and credit accounts consolidated into one Cash Flow Line. Or at least to let the user decide what accounts to include. I remember discussing this in the past and someone was adamant that it couldn't be done that way. But I didn't understand why then or now. Anyhow, I added my vote.
