Select the transactions you do not want to assign buckets and right click to assign "Bucket Optional". This will remove them from the unassigned smart bucket and also will not effect your Spending plan when you decide to kick that off. > > I'm thinking that on Feb. 13, I will enter my paycheck income, and > flow income into my spending buckets accordingly.

For example, I just got a huge car repair bill. > Although I'm setting up a bucket for car repairs, there won't be > enough in that bucket for awhile. That's when you either: 1) Transfer $$$ From A Designated Savings account to one of your income buckets and then allocate to Car Repairs 2) Re-allocate using flows from existing buckets (i.e. pull $50 from Entertainment, $50 from Eatting out) until you have enough to cover the car repairs. This is easy to do in the application. You simple drag one bucket on top of the other and then enter an amount.
