Don't worry that you are setting an amount for only one bucket. This is just a way to "prime the pump." Once you have a total amount that you want to spend, assign it to one bucket and then you can allocate it from there. If you want, you can even create a money flow right away by dragging one income bucket to another to split up the money. > I suppose I could combine the buckets, then specify the amount, but it > seems sorta counterintuitive you know.

The amounts are separate as far as your bank register is concerned but that has little to do with your cash flow process. Go with the one bucket on the cash flow start and create a money flow after to give you a better visual for what is coming from each bucket.
