In Money, a HELOC is simply a credit card with an associated asset.

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. This is a Home Equity Line of Credit that I
apparently had setup as a mortgage account and was not appearing in the
budget. I have re-created the account as a HELOC account and it is now
appearing correctly in the budget.

Thanks!

Ian

If it's an account characterized in Money as a 'loan', it should show up in
the special 'debt' section of the budget. You cannot control that. If it is
there, take note that it also includes the escrow portions, even if those
are transfer to an account rather than expensed monthly as insurance or
taxes. Take care not to include separate categories for taxes or
homeowner's insurance, or you'll double-count those expenses.

Default Budget Items do not appear in Monthly Budget Report

Hello,

I've been using Money for nearly a decade to track account details and that
has worked fine. Now, I've decided to start using the budgeting
functionality and am extremely frustrated. I have items that show in the
budget, but when I view the Monthly Budget report they are not included.
What gives? The item is a simple mortgage payment setup as a "Loan Payment"
bill from checking to the mortgage loan account. Please help!

Thanks!

Ian
