[GNC] Household monthly reporting

I'm trying to do a household monthly report. I've considered both the 
income statement and the cash flow report. Here are my results:

Income statement: Very good report, but doesn't include the principal 
and escrow portions of my mortgage payment. Only the interest. So the 
P&L doesn't tell me if I'm overspending.

Cash flow report: I set this for my checking account. The cash flow in 
and out shows what I spent out of my checking account, including 
mortgage principal, interest and escrow,  but much of my spending was on 
a credit card. I pay the entire credit card balance, so it shows up as a 
cash flow item, but there is no itemization. If I were carrying a 
balance, I'd have more of a problem using this to manage my spending.

So what I want is a report of all my spending: credit card, checking 
account, one liability debit (mortgage loan) and one asset debit 
(mortgage escrow.) This would show me whether I had overspent my income 
or not, and by how much.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,

Ed Greenberg
