Hi Kevin - I started my Cash Flow Start Date at 2/1/09 and put what money we wanted to start with since my wife and I got paid on the 30th of January. I went ahead and just entered my transactions in the register to get them in there and I am now getting around to assigning the unassigned (things like clothes and household items) transactions to buckets as I am fleshing out our spending plan. Any transaction that occurred on 1/30 or 1/31 doesn't effect the buckets at all.
For example, I made a clothing bucket but didn't give it an allocation. On 1/30 and 1/31 we had some purchases that should be assigned to that bucket. I assigned them and expected the bucket to go negative (it did) and I was going to do a manual flow from my remaining salary to zero it out since I did spend that money on the clothing. I am doing this to really start refining my spending plan. I don't have buckets for everything yet but after a month or two or regular use I figure MW will show me what buckets I need to create and or modify. So I am assuming this has something to do with my start date. How can I fix this to accurately deplete my Salary bucket? Should I just change my Cash flow start date a few days back and will that affect anything else?
