The start date always defaults to the first of the month. You can start your cash on 1/1/2009 and simply tell it how much money you have to spend from this paycheck on 12/30/2008. > The best I get is a correct flow from the beginning of the month on > 1/1... but it doesn't include my spending from 12/30 which I really > need - this is truly the start of my month.

Try using the total amount of money that you have to spend on January 1 and entering that into the Cash Flow Start Date panel. Once that is in there, you'll have that money in your primary income bucket to spend. The cash flow tracking is very separate from your statement information and much more flexible. You can choose to restart it at any point without losing transaction history, just make sure you prime it with your available cash on that date.
