Short answer: No

Longer answer: Money has no built-in method for tracking subaccounts.
You can fake Money out by creating multiple savings accounts, but you
won't be able to balance the way you want. You could also use split
transactions to allocate money to different categories, but you'd have
to use a report to see where things stand.

This questions comes up regularly. Use Google Groups to look for old
message threads. A search for "envelope budget" would probably work.

One of my several accounts in Money is a basic "Savings" account. It sync's
up with my banks info and all is well. But, here's the thing. I want to
allocate portions of the account into different groups. For example: Say my
balance is $5,000.00, I might have $1,000 allocated to future Car Expenses,
another $1,000 allocated toward some furniture we're saving to buy, and so
on. Basically, I want the Money Savings account to reflect the full balance
as reported by my bank to keep reconciliation basic and simple. But, I don't
want to have to maintain and update an Excel file like I do now to keep track
of the various sub-accounts that the $5,000.00 is allocated to.

Is there some handier way to manage this within Money itself so I can just
deal with one tool, keep reconciliation basic, and manage different
"sub-totals" for different future expenses that are being saved for in my
Savings account?

Thanks.
