Jay, Glad it's working for you. We'll have a new video that talks about the cash flow start date and amount more but to sum it up quickly: Your Starting Balance transaction controls your account balance based on your bank statements. This is your banking layer in MoneyWell and is separate from your cash flow management. Your Cash Flow Start Date and Amount control your cash flow management. This is a virtual layer in MoneyWell that allows you to see how much money you have to spend and in what bucket. The amount of money you have to spend is probably not the sum of all your account balances, since most people don't want to spend all their savings or investments and certainly shouldn't be including the money available on credit cards. You can change this date and amount at any time if you feel like you want to start over tracking your cash flow and it won't affect or hurt your bank statement layer.
