Hi Kevin, Thanks for the reply. But I wonder if the expense buckets shouldn't be excluded here?
My set-up is like this: my bank account is in euros. and so is my spending plan and hence the buckets. But I take money out in GBP and spent my cash in GBP. Since I spent in GBP I understand that each time I assign a transaction to a (euro) bucket, the amount that is deducted from the bucket varies depending on the exchange rate. In my case the amount of money in the bucket that I start with each month is linked to my euro income and spending plan and those amounts should not change when exchange rates vary I think? If I put 100 euros in my lunch bucket than it is always 100 euros. Their worth may vary with exchange rates (if I spent in GBP) but the fluctuation in exchange rate should not affect that basic amount of 100 euro I assigned in my spending plan and hence is in the bucket. The exchange rates should only relate to the transactions I assign. What happened when I changed the rate yesterday (with euro as 1 and GBP variable) is that suddenly several buckets with no money in it changed to negative. It seems that this effectively means that MW affects the spending plan.
