Spending

Spending is a collection of views that focus on projected outflows based on expenses and taxes. Each view has a chart and table view that can be switched between using the toggle in the upper right hand corner of the view panel.

You can isolate specific items on the chart by click on their name in the legend. Please note that this will not exclude them from the plan, just temporarily hide them from view in the chart.

All ages shown in table views are as of year-end.

The black segment divider bars can be clicked and dragged on all Spending chart views to alter the segment structure of the plan.
