HI, I am obviously new to Tiller. I am trying to understand if I can use Tiller to track all of my assets, including fixed assets such as R/E, automobiles, etc, and have them reflected in the net worth. Thanks.

What is a manual account and how do you set one up?

[jpfieber]

Like @ramerkw, I use manual accounts for home and autos which get manually updated once a month based on Zillow and CarFax estimated values, and 🏆 Small Asset Tracker to track smaller items.

Launch the Tiller extension menu and choose Manual Accounts

Use the pull-down on the panel to Add Manual Account

Then provide the account name. Then visit the Manual Accounts with whatever regularity you wish and update the balance.

I just found Manual Accounts in the new Money Feed in Excel.

I thought I saw somewhere that these manual accounts would show up in the Tiller daily email? Am I mistaken with that?
