What you’ll need
- A saved Quicken Net Worth report customization
- A monthly cadence (10 minutes)
Step-by-step checklist
- Once: set up a scoped Net Worth report you can reuse.
- Monthly: update key balances in Quicken as you normally do.
- Export the Net Worth report to CSV and upload it to FinlyLife.
- Review any matching prompts and confirm balances refresh.
- Ask planning questions based on the new snapshot and save next steps.
Common pitfalls
- Changing report scope month-to-month and losing comparability.
- Exporting the wrong report type (transactions vs balances).
- Expecting the snapshot to include every holdings detail (it’s a planning snapshot).
