Financial Goals Tracking #5

Open hamstercheese7 opened 7 years ago

hamstercheese7 commented 7 years ago

A module for submitting financial goals would be great. Ex: You want to save $70k for a new kitchen. A module that accepts your goal, and then helps you figure out how much you need to save additionally each month in order to reach it. Basically a place to write down and track our financial goals would be great (kitchen, yard, wedding, honeymoon, new rental property, etc.)

As a note, the way that places like Mint implement this is by having you set up another savings account, and using the amount in that account be the amount you've saved. So we'd open up a "Kitchen Remodel" savings account, and a "In-Law Remodel" savings account, and track those. Thoughts?

We have a lot of projects and that would be a lot of accounts. Or are we only saving up for things one at a time? Do we have a general projects slush fund? Are these things being invested?
