Question ID What expenses do you have right now
language Other income (previous screen), other expenses, other debt payments. It would be great if we can make these into a loop for each one, but that functionality can be added later. For now, we should tell the user if they have more than 1 additional item, they should list them all in the text field and add up the total in the $ field. (obviously with better language.)

Variable being sought user_expense_none

@mnewsted the biggest issue for this is that the question asks for "total income". But it could be a good future goal to make the monthly income into a list.

A compromise is to ask for just the "other income" on its own page.

  1. We could ask for the total income for each category, but still let people add multiples. Avoiding issue of income changing six months through the year.
  2. We could have a pop-up calculator.
  3. We could have a radio button that lets people switch back and forth between "calculate it for me" and "my income varied over the last 12 months"

i like the compromise suggestion. Can we have all the "other" items (income in last month, income in last year, expenses, debt) on a separate page if the other... is checked? If checked, then ask for source/debt/expense (short title/name) and amount. Having an +Add another button on the same screen would make it easy. Could we use a generic object as long as we define the description of what we are asking for? For other income in the last 12 months, i'm inclined to leave this blank for the user. I am okay with not including an automatic calculation function (calculate it for me), but a pop-up calculator might be helpful, pretty much on any of the $ amount screens.
