Cashflow Graph
Engage uses "Straight-line" analysis. Engage's Cashflow graph visually represents income and expenses over a given time interval.

As shown in the above example, users are able to choose to include "Gross Distribution", "RMD"s and/or "Other income" when they are conducting an analysis against the "Expenses" (the latter remains static).
