I'm afraid I haven't caught on. My paycheck on 11/26 was intended for December's first-half allocations. In 'Allocate Money', even when I picked for the next month to start 5 days ahead, it still thought that income counted towards November and showed my December salary bucket as negative 1 paycheck (since I'd already allocated all of December). I had to change the check date to 12/1 to zero my salary bucket.
What can I do to make it work with the 11/26 paycheck deposit date?
