Thanks Kevin I think I am getting it. I've played around with this a bit more. I see that if I let my salary from 18th Nov flow now it becomes a money flow for November. In fact what I want to do is set the whole of this salary aside and not allocate it or spend it until 1st December. Therefore if I have understood this right I am best not to allocate the income flow until I have reached 1st December - and it then becomes a December income flow? My confusion may stem from my familiarity with YNAB under which income flows can be designated at outset as either this month OR next month. Regards
