Savings Goals contributions and amounts corrupted overnight
My Savings Goals looked normal yesterday, but today they have gone insane. The contributions and the amounts saved so far are inflated, and previously completed goals have reappeared and are claiming contributions.
A goal that was completed in December has reappeared and says I made a contribution in January matching the entire contributions to the goal last year. (Goal outlined in RED.)
A goal that had $2100 in it in December and should get $100/month contribution through March now says I contributed $2300 in January but have only $2300 total in it. (Goal outlined in ORANGE.)
A goal that started this month (January) with $230 contribution scheduled now says I contributed $460 in January. (Goal outlined in GREEN.)
A goal that had about $1360 in it in December and should get $170/month contribution through March now says I contributed $1700 in January and have $3060 in it. (Goal outlined in BLUE.)
A goal that had $460 in it in December and should get $230/month contribution through April now says I contributed $920 in January and have $1380 in it. (Goal outlined in BROWN.)
A goal that had $105 in it in December and should get $35/month contribution through September now says I contributed $190 in January and have $310 in it. (Goal outlined in PURPLE.)
Other observations:
I made my January contributions early in the month and have not touched the Savings Goals at all recently.
Looking back through Spending Plans for prior months, the contributions look correct but the totals contributed so far match what I see in the current month.
In the Savings Goals main page the same corrupted "Available" amounts (supposedly saved so far) appear, and Goals that have supposedly received contributions in excess of the target have been moved to the Completed Goals section.
The amount listed for Savings Goals in the Accounts list appears to be close to what the amount should be, without the bogus contributions. It's about $5000 less than the total of what the Savings Goals claim to have "Available."
The previously completed goal that reappeared now has no Year for the Target goal date and a contribution amount of zero. (See below)
What should I do to rectify this?

It's not just you, this was known since early morning, many manual account and blue book values were affected to. There was a work-around posted, i don't know if that's all there's going to be.

All of my goals’ totals were doubled a were assigned to an “unknown” account. Can’t do anything with the unknown account either like remove the money from that goal. It’s really messed up all of my spending and planning.

Thanks, but the discussion you linked (with a "workaround") is about the inflated balance in manual accounts problem. What I am complaining about in this thread is the problem with Savings Goals.

I'm not sure what we should do. The usual "delete it and try again" suggestion would wreak havoc here.
Deleting a Savings Goal screws up all the prior months' spending plans in which that Goal had contributions.

They totally botched this. I spent the whole morning fixing the whole mess and like you said after fixing everything I still couldn't fix the goals. Luckily my goals only started at the beginning of the year so I deleted them and created them new to keep it all clean. My completed goals are still a mess.

It's two separate problems but considering that they happened at exactly the same time, maybe they are inherently related. Who knows! (Certainly not me)

I'm having the exact same problem and I'm very frustrated 😡

That's certainly possible.
The doubled-balance issue predominates in the other thread and I am concerned that the coaches will focus on that issue and not on the Savings Goals problem.
In fact, that seems to be what is happening. @Coach Jon has posted workarounds for and put up a notice of the doubled-balance issue, but I haven't seen anything about the Savings Goals. Maybe they will come back to it.

Pushing out multiple unrelated changes is also a possibility! Hoping they fix it all real soon…

+1 my savings goals are are all messed up. the amount that shows in the accounts list of how mucch is tied up in savings goals is accurate, but when viewing the savings goals, they are so broken.

oops, wrong discussion.

My savings goal balances were corrected overnight (yay) but now only three of my goals are being deducted from future months’ spending plans making my “available to spend” number for future months wildly inaccurate (boo).

Like @Cmallory, my goal amounts went back to normal overnight. BUT… several goals that are not yet completed are now marked as having been "completed" in January 2026, like this one:
It appears that any goal that got enough bogus contributions yesterday to be considered complete is still marked as complete, even though those bogus contributions have been removed.
Also (and I am not sure if this is a change) the goals are still sorted alphabetically in the Spending Plan but are not sorted in the Savings Goals main page.
EDIT: These are minor problems compared to yesterday's issues. They should be fixed but are not urgent.

like cmallory and DryHeat i'm having the same issue. this is quite annoying as i have a good few savings goals that won't be completed for a few months (and one i don't have a real set end date for) but because of this issue they are now marked completed and now not showing up in my spending plan. if it wasn't for them now showing up in the spending plan i wouldn't care and while i believe they'll show up once i add money to them in those future months it still is quite annoying

because of this issue they are now marked completed and now not showing up in my spending plan.
I hadn't noticed that, but you are right. My "completed" (not really completed) Savings Goals show up in the Spending Plan this month (Jan) because their completed date is "Jan 2026" (see image in previous post).
But they don't show up in the Spending Plan in Feb or thereafter, even though they need contributions in those months in order to really be completed. My Spending Plan is ignoring contributions in those future months.
I guess this problem is more urgent than I thought. I need to contribute to these Goals in February.

For some reason my post about savings goals was merged with a discussion about manually tracked accounts (which is not related):
https://community.simplifimoney.com/discussion/comment/64271#Comment_64271
Anyway… the goals now show the correct amounts, but some of the active goals are listed as completed (which messes up my spending plan).

@DryHeat
they should show up once you've contributed to them in the month you've made the contributions, for instance once you start contributing to it in february it should show up in february's spending plan like normal but it won't show up beyond that. at least that what i think happens from what i can remember when i had forgot to adjust a savings goal i had and contributed more than i had expected causing it to be marked complete, but yea it's quite annoying.

Thanks for the info. If this isn't fixed by February, I'll try your method of making a contribution anyway (I guess in the main Savings Goal page) and see what happens.
