Set up an asset account to track the money you've lent. Use asset accounts to track the following:
Use investment accounts to track assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investments that fluctuate in value. Quicken has additional account types you can use to track your other assets: asset accounts and investment accounts. The balances in your bank and cash accounts represent only part of your total assets. If you set up accounts for all your assets and liabilities, Quicken can include them in net worth reports and graphs to give you an accurate view of your total financial status. Assets are what you own, liabilities are what you owe, and the amount difference between them is your net worth.
