Right, but there is just no way for me to be completely accurate as of 1/1 with how much "salary" I had left to spend because I was spending from several sources that didn't include salary money, and it's not as simple as finding a balance. This is the first time I am budgeting this way, so I wasn't keeping track of the amounts I was spending from different places. I can't get an accurate "left to spend" amount for my salary because of how much I spent over two days from various sources that I didn't track well.
I think the best way for me to start is to reset my cash flow for 2/1, pretend to receive my salary then (instead of the 30th), and not spend at all until then. Would you agree? Wish me luck... it would be so much easier if I could start my cash flow on the 30th. There does still seem to be a glitch in the cash flow date window, as it sometimes accepts my new salary amount and makes accurate changes, while sometimes I have to re-input three or four times. Also, since I don't do things right now according to first and second month halves (I have in the past), is there a way to eliminate this from my spending plan? If I have the allocation set to first half, do the halves affect anything at all outside of the spending plan view? Thanks again.
