How To Budget Investment Accounts?

[Jonathan Chan]

Hi all,

I have a 401k account that I put money into and the money is invested into
different mutual funds. My 401k account allows me to download the
transactions as QFX file so I have set up my 401k account to have
subaccounts that are investment accounts in the mutual fund like the manual
suggests to do:

Assets
   \ Investments
        \ 401K account
            \ BRUFX
            \ VHCIX
            \ etc.


When I am budgeting, I would like to budget how much money I invest into my
401k account, but when I look at the budget report, I see erroneous data
because technically whenever I put money into the 401k account, it is
withdrawn from the sub-accounts immediately. I can't budget the
sub-accounts because it is in mutual fund shares and they change from month
to month, is there any way to solve this problem and keep track of my
mutual funds still? I want to budget a fixed amount of money into the 401k
account every month and have it properly tracked in the budget report.


Thanks,
Jonathan
