Ability To See More Than 2 Paychecks Ahead Jul 23, 2009 04:00 pm

Hi reggie156,
Unfortunately, there is not a way to see more than two pay periods in the future with Quicken Online--Quicken Online is designed more to show you an immediate view of your finances (what's coming around the corner).
Hope this helps--
Quicken Kathryn

Is this something you are looking at adding though, (the ability to look out farther than 2 paychecks)? You have the interface built, just need to "expand" the time line that it's displaying. I see a lot of post about cash flow projections, etc, and it seems if this one feature that exists were just expanded it would solve that.
Hi Rozy,

I get paid every two weeks. My wife does also. I wish there was a frequency of every four weeks. This way I could have two sets of repeating transactions two weeks apart. This would accomplish ability to look two pay periods ahead for both paychecks.
Since so many expenses are monthly, there should always be a way to look at a rolling month to prevent over-spending in a part of the month when few bills are due.
I'm also VERY interested in this since both my wife and I are paid every two weeks. Since we alternate weeks the two paycheck limit really limits the value of this feature.
Apparently you just display the 'next' transaction of a repeating transaction that is entered, like a a paycheck. I LOVE your cashflow projector btw, but do wish it looked a little further out. It doesn't seem to cut off at a date, just doesn't show the NEXT in a series until the CURRENT item clears. I have some things penciled in as quarterly planned expenses and that distant one shows up, but no repeating transactions before that.
So wouldn't a workaround for seeing more paychecks is to make them separate items? Like my paycheck on the 1st could be called 'paycheck 1' and the one on the 15th could be 'paycheck 2'. Each having a frequency of once a month. Then both would always be displayed... at least 2 paychecks out anyway... but it would be much nicer if you just allowed us to stretch out to 2 or 3 months without a workaround!
The workaround can be used for weekly paychecks, or for 2x monthly pay cycles. It does not work for every 2 weeks, which would require a "every 4 weeks" recurrence to extend forcasting capability.

...should also be able to handle situations where one spouse gets paid bi-monthly (ie - 1st and 15th) while the other spouse gets paid on alternate weeks.

I find this reply to be a bit interesting since the forum is titled "Upcoming Product Features".
I'm no tech guy, but it seems to me that if there is a drop down selection that allows users to select weekly, bi-weekly, etc., it shouldn't be a big headache to have those items post through the month that is presented on the transactions list.
I will tell you that I have enjoyed most of the quicken products I have used, but this one flaw has made it disappointing to say the least. I've only been actively using it for a couple of weeks, we'll see if I stay with it, but I'm one that believes the service should adapt more to the users needs than the other way around.

This morning I logged on to see a new look for QOL, but the two paycheck graph was missing. I really depend on this, in fact it was an important reason for my deciding to use the Quicken program. I do hope it will come back soon. Any ideas about this, Kathy?
Hi 2mercury,
This is still available on the home page--just go to "Stay On Top of Bills" and set it up if you haven't already (it's very quick). Then, your "View Spending Outlook" button will be available so you can see your paycheck graph.
