Thanks for your reply Kevin. I understand the reasoning behind the behavior but, I can't create my spending plan the why you have described. I have been doing envelope budgeting for over 10 years with various different programs (currently Mvelopes) and I have always been able to split my checks over the 2 time periods as any amounts I wanted to. The way my bills and income are I have to have some things split unevenly. I wish I could just split everything evenly but, I can't. With the current behavior I just can't use MoneyWell but, I will keep an eye on it and if the behavior changes I will look into using it again.
