Is there anything wrong with entering a current year auto loan payment as a Special Expenditure (non tax related/in dollars) rather than entering it in the Assets & Savings folder (Current Saving tab, "Loan payments apart from mortgage payments and prepayment of mortgage principal")?
I've done it both ways and the calculated living standard and total spending each year are slightly different. But what does this mean?
