Thanks, I figured it out, I just added the carryover to the actual expenses from the previous month net. I find the budget feature difficult to use in gnucash, so made my own is LibreOffice. I use the reports in gnucash quite a bit to get data for the budget, only a few data points each pay period, but works great. I guess in a sense sorta a 'envelope budget' but not fully like he intended. However, it is a zero sum budget and very easy 'in theory' to do with the help of gnucash, if one can limit your spending :)
