Hello,
I recently started using Quicken to track household expenses for my roommate and I. We are trying to see where our money is being "lost" (spent).
We split everything equally. I have been entering all receipts into a non-bank related account on Quicken (splitting categories when necessary.)
As an aside, I am also currently tracking who spent what on an excel sheet (ie: Jen spent $50 on groceries, Mel spent $30 at hardware store and $60 on dog food). Just to make sure one of us doesn't spend too much more than the other on household things. If I spent $300 on utilities, she will get the food for the month and whatever else to keep things kinda even.
Since I am already entering everything into quicken, rather than enter it into Excel too, I thought I would be able to track it by using Classes (one class named Jen and the other after my roomie). Unfortunately, I am unable to do that when splitting a transaction (ie: grocery bill split into categories but want to assign it a class).
Does anyone know how I can assign a class to a split transaction? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how best to do this? I've worked so hard to get all our info entered, I don't want to have to keep using the excel sheet!
Thanks!
Jen
