Microsoft Money?

Question

When using Microsoft Money to enter portfolio stocks and bonds, how do I enter a cash balance? In each portfolio for me and my wife, we have stocks, bonds, and cash. Stocks and bonds are easy, but how do I enter a Cash position????

I am using MSN Money via the internet, not the boxed retail version

Answer 1

that **** sounds like a scam

Answer 2

A cash account is set up as Other, with 0 beginning balance, unless you have a beginning balance to put in. If you do put in a beginning balance, and it is the amount needed to keep the account open, say $25, that will always appear in your total balance. You then add cash as needed.
