I there some way to leave the value of my primary residence listed as an asset yet NOT display it in the various charts and tables? In Pralana 2023 I did this by deleting the home entirely. Ideally I would check a box to pretend I don't own a home. In future, if I decide that selling it is a likely event, then I would un-check the box to perform appropriate analysis.
@allenv There is no way to do this within a given scenario; however, if you want to do analysis involving whether to sell the residence or not, the way to do that is via two or more scenarios. You could establish a baseline scenario with the house and then in one or two other scenarios you could investigate the sale of the residence.

Thank you for the response. This morning I tackled the issue a different way. In my baseline scenario I left the primary home entered as personal property but divided the cost basis and present value by 1000. This allows me to enter and track the various costs of home ownership ( taxes, insurance, upkeep, etc.) in the pre-made bins provided by Pralana while suppressing the value of the asset to a mere placeholder. In future I can create other scenarios wherein I restore the correct cost basis and value as needed.
