I like having future transactions as part of my financial record. I'm
entering as many future transactions as I can possibly predict, so I can
get a better handle on future cash flows and how much I can spend on
stuff I want.

When you say you want to include scheduled transactions in your graphs,
but you don't want to have future transactions in your financial record,
what's the difference? They're just two different ways of saying that
these transactions will take place in the future. Everything else is
just a technicality.
