   LOL! You are totally confused. Score! You will never see all details,   
   but look at this again:

   /view?usp=sharing   
      
   The first image is a brokerage with 4 accounts. The second is a credit   
   union snapshot with 4 accounts. There are other brokerage and cash   
   accounts. Stop trying to put is all together when you do not, and never   
   will see, the total picture.   
      
   Yes, the carefully redacted Excel version I downloaded from Quicken has   
   different numbers. That is because it is investments only, not any   
   banking numbers. What you are saying is a major change in amounts is   
   actually VERY different accounts, investments not cash, with the names   
   hidden from you. There subtotals in the Excel image. Of course you are   
   confused. The intent was not to inform.   
      
   The only way this ever go started in the first place was you baiting   
   with claims that I am bragging about my financial status. Honest person   
   that I am I tried to show I'm not lying.   
      
   I could care less that you are among the many who have accumulated more   
   in less time that we have.   
      
   Your amateurish attempts to reconcile incomplete and seemingly   
   inconsistent data, all of which are accurate by themselves, are   
   hilarious, never ending, and fruitless. I'm going to stop this here. You   
   need to give it up too. You are being made a fool.
