How do you get a report that shows total money in, and total money out each month, including financing activity?

"...what we're all looking for here is a single report that shows all the lines from both the P&L Report and all the lines from the Cash Flow Report in a single Report."

 

There is no such report nor does there need to be.  The top line of the Statement of Cash Flows is the net income from your accrual basis P&L.  If you want to see them together, run an accrual basis P&L and a Statement of Cash Flows and split your screen, or print both.

Yes I understand principle loan payments are not considered an expense by Quickbooks. But for my purposes as a business owner, it is considered an expense. I want to be able to look at my profit and loss and see all of my "expenses" including loan payments because to me, it is an expense (money I didn't earn or get to keep, it's money I had to spend)

Unfortunately, your solution still does not provide any principle loan payments as an expense. Therefore, it still does not show Total Money In and Total Money Out.

As a business owner myself, I understand exactly what you're saying.  This scenario is exactly why I went back to school for accounting.  I didn't understand how a business could make a healthy profit but have no cash to distribute to pay my personal income tax.   

 

"I want to be able to look at my profit and loss and see all of my "expenses" including loan payments because to me, it is an expense (money I didn't earn or get to keep, it's money I had to spend)"

 

That's the exact purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows report.  It tells you what profit the business made and then shows you what items affected your cash balance (loan principal payments) that are not accounted for on the P&L.
