A comment on What happened to Mint?. Parent comment

I have a few requests for you:

1. Allow people to enter transactions ahead of time and plan ahead. I dropped Mint in favor of Quicken because no other tool allows me to properly plan ahead. But Quicken still lacks support for a number of financial institutions as well as stock options.

2. Please support stock options and non-public wealth tracking. Quicken has to be shoehorned into it, Personal Finance supports it but doesn’t allow you to plan ahead. You could do a lot here for people.

3. Have it be cross-platform. I wish I could edit Quicken transactions on my phone but I get this dumbed down synced version that is practically useless.

Put those three in and I’ll be one happy user.

This is such a no brainer. I tend to buy tickets to concerts/shows at times two months of time and I want to reflect that in that month's spending and not this months.

FYI - you can forward-date purchases in Mint by a few months.

Just click on the transaction and then again on the date and modify.

You can’t manually enter transactions in the register though last I checked. That’s the essential thing - predictive cash flow.
