I use GnuCash for all my personal finances. I have a number of "retirement" investment accounts. I receive monthly multi-page statements for each account from the bank, showing every transaction (buys/sells, interest, dividends, capital gains, etc). Now that I'm a senior, I have to withdraw monthly amounts from these accounts, which are transferred to a checking account.
I really have no interest in tracking all that data in GnuCash. I can see it all in the statements and/or through my online banking. What I am interested in doing..... create GnuCash accounts for each investment account, so that I can enter transfer transactions each month to my checking account. All I need to do in addition to that is update the current value of the investment accounts, say as of the last day of each month. Opening the investment accounts and giving them opening balances is easy. I'm now looking for suggestions going forward regarding updating the current value of each account monthly. That is, I don't want to set up sub accounts for every stock, mutual fund, etc and then have to track share/unit prices, just to come up with an account balance. I just want to enter one "adjustment" type transaction for each investment account, once a month, to make it balance to my monthly bank statements. Appreciate all ideas... thanks! _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
