Hi, I'm a newbie to this style of budgeting but think it will really work for me! I've set up accounts/buckets/spending plan etc but am having trouble getting the allocations to add up after a couple of weeks. Can you pls let me know if I'm missing something basic?! This is what I've done.... 1. Entered accounts with starting balances (cheque x 2, credit card x 2) 2. Allocated starting balance available to salary bucket (cheque balance less credit card balance on that day) I pay off the credit card each month & used this method after reading another users post. 3. Allocated all of salary starting balance to expense buckets (I did this manually as there wasn't enough to do full spending plan) 4. Entered all transactions for 2 weeks and allocated them to buckets 5. Had one salary come in and allocated all to expense buckets This all looks great, but now the allocations I have available in my expense buckets exceed the amount in my checking account (once I subtract the amount to pay the credit card). I wanted to use the buckets to keep tax/super etc aside as I have to pay this quarterly but want to keep it in my checking account to offset mortgage etc. But am a bit worried I've stuffed something up! Thanks for any help you can offer :-) Jac
