Most paycheck stubs have this information on them and give you and end of year summary too so tracking that detail throughout the year is a bit redundant. There are customers that do spend the time tracking it and it can be done. It just doesn't blend well with the envelope method. > One last thing.

I'm not sure why MoneyWell hung. It would help me if I saw the Console messages on your computer related to MoneyWell. Here are the steps: 1. Run Console (in your Utilities folder) 2. Click All Messages in the left panel 3. Filter the list to MoneyWell using the "Filter" in the upper right 4. Select several of the most recent messages around the date you were seeing this problem 5. Copy them and paste them into an email to [email protected] Thanks.
