I track my business and personal income and expense by classifying my personal expenses this way:
I created this account:
Account Type: Other Expense
Detail Type: Other Miscellaneous Expense
Name: PERSONAL - EXPENSES
I then created accounts for each category of personal expense as a subcategory of the above account.
The problem - when I run Budgeted vs Actual report, the Personal Expense categories are collapsed into Other Expenses. I cannot compare, for instance, budgeted personal travel vs. actual personal travel.
I've tried multiple ways of fixing this. I don't want to run two separate sets of books because I have a simple small consulting business. I keep separate bank accounts and credit cards but like being able to see everything on one report.
Ideas, anyone? Thanks!
