Agreed. The actual investments and everything would be tracked as a regular account. The contribution tracking would be something separate, which is why I'm contemplating just an account with fake currency for this. I intend to use it to track how much money I have available as an emergency fund (in addition to other assets). It probably makes sense to just be an asset with fake currency (or maybe just track the cash contributions via metadata), but wasn't sure if anyone had come up with a better solution, so figured I'd ask.
