There can only be one budget active for any account at a time. You can just set it to annual I guess, then it won't reset monthly. Fava budgets seem different from what you want though, as they basically just provide a number against which your actual transactions can be compared (graphically). No more, no less. It fits well with how I handle money (for example, why would a budgeted amount ALWAYS come out of the same bank account?), but not with what's described in that page, which I just skimmed through. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
