Fantastic UI. Congrats. It would be really cool to be able to model personal assets such as businesses. For example, I would like to be able to plan when I sell one of my businesses in X amount of years for a price of Y, then perhaps have options on how to spread the proceeds of that sale into different assets like cash, stocks / shares or one off purchases like a house.

One thing I couldn't work out how to do was to add one off purchases once you had already created a plan. Is that possible?



What kind of one-off purchases do you have in mind? Within the plan interface, there are a bunch of expandable columns at the bottom, and within each of those you can create/manage things like types of income, expenses, assets, cash-flow priorities, etc. You can control frequency on things like income/expenses; I imagine setting an expense to happen once would be an example of the kind of one-off you're looking for? You should also be able to model selling X for the price of Y pretty efficiently as well, perhaps with a single custom income event type and using the Advanced change-over-time editor.


Thanks, I managed to model buying a house doing a one off expense. I think it might be useful from a usability point of view to put Buy a House as an item in the list of possible expenses as it is such a common goal for people. Anyway I absolutely love what you have done so I subscribed. Best of luck with this. I look forward to see how it grows!
