This is not the best way to handle it because you want to assign every transaction to a bucket unless it really doesn't have one (like a transfer). Also, it would be better to start cash flow tracking now since we are still at the beginning of February. That's why MoneyWell has the amount value in the Cash Flow Start Date panel.
