[GNC] Dealing with escrow account

[Stephen M. Butler]

I treat it like another asset account.  The monthly escrow amount goes 
in and when the escrow pays out it comes out as an expense.

So your monthly payment out of your checking account ends up in three 
places:
1.  Interest Expense.
2.  Liability reduction (the mortgage).
3.  Escrow asset account.

Then when you get the statements you can reconcile/verify the Interest 
Expense (YTD), the Mortgage balance, and the escrow balance with any 
related transactions.
