Hi David and thanks for your reply. As I'm really a newbie, please excuse my struggle in getting "debit" and "credit" right with regards to the various accounts :-(
So for a gift I received, let me see if I got it right: 100 as "deposit" on my checking account; 100 as "income" on my "gifts received". For salary: 5000 as "deposit" on my checking account; 5000 as "income" on my salary account.
