If I change the periodic transaction block from `Monthly in 2018/02` to `Monthly` it works as I expect. I plan to revisit and tweak my budget every month but later I wanted to go back and say "did I meet my budget for February" so I wanted to keep the budget I used for 02/18 around in my ledger rather than having a single `Monthly` block that I adjust every month.
Is there a better way for me to set those transactions up?
