Current investments should "start" the day you enter them
It's easiest to use our service by pretending your financial life started at this moment. Enter current assets/debts/expenses/incomes starting today as well.
Ended Investments turn into Assets. Commits are considered Expenses.
This keeps everything tidy. If an investment is divested, it is technically a liquid asset and is considered as such. Commits follow similar logic.
401k or equivalent retirement plans are considered investments
Generally these are the exact same as market index funds but with tax benefits.
