> First post here, excited about gnuCash, just started (using 1.9.6 on

> Questions:
>
> 1) Credit card installments
> Trying to keep track of my credit cards. Most of my purchases are on a
> multi-installment basis, i.e. "plasma tv, eur 2000, 36 monthly
> installments of the same amount".
>
> Is there a way to do this automatically? I was thinking about something
> in the lines of:
> Open up a wizard, record a purchase with "Liabilities - Credit cards - X
> card" versus "expenses - home - electronic equipment". The wizard asks
> if this is a recurring payment, I answer yes, then asks the time
> interval (month) and the number of re-occurrences (35) and that's it.
>
>
> 2) Loan calculations
> Same thing (and worse) with loans or mortgages. Manually entering twelve
> monthly payments for 25 years is a lot of work, I am sure there's some
> way to do this automagically - is there?
>
> Thanks and best regards,
