When you start your cash flow over, simply add up all the money that you want to allocate and use that as the amount in that panel. If you don't want to allocate your student loan money, then you can leave it out of that amount. As an alternative, set the order of your income buckets so that your salary bucket(s) are first and your loan bucket is last. Include all your available cash in the cash flow start amount, including your loan money, but when you set up your buckets leave the loan bucket out of your combined income bucket set (keep that option turned off for that bucket). Then you can allocate just from your salary income bucket(s) and create money flows from your loan bucket only when necessary. Some people get confused that the cash flow start only allows them to put the money into one bucket. Just pick one to put all the money into and drag that bucket to other income buckets to spread it around after that. Let me know if you need more help.
