Well you need to have some source of income before you can spend money, right? Even as a student, I had a minimal stream of money coming in. When you assign a deposit transaction to one of your income buckets, you'll be able to allocate it. If you are living off a student loan or taking money from a special bank account, just assign the positive side of the transfer to your income bucket. Let me know if this helps.
