Hi! I just realised something Big. Well, in my mind anyway.
I had this idea that I did really well this month, stayed inside my budget, didn't splurge (too much) etc. I glanced at the graph at the bottom of my MoneyWell window and noticed the blue bar getting reeeeeally close to green bar and I slightly panicked I thought 'Oh no! Where did I go wrong?' After a little bit I realised that that green bar for February is my income for February, which I don't receive until the 25th (my pay- day). I then realised that my spending for February was from money from January. Now, normally the income would be pretty evened out, but someone messed up so my income for this 25th is a bit lower than I'd like (meh, but with MoneyWell I figured out all the bills will get paid, I'll have money for food and other necessities I'll just have less fun-money but still a little which I think is good, so yay MoneyWell). Anyway, what I wanted to say that even though my spending *in* February may exceed my income *in* February, this seems a bit off. I'm not spending February's money, I'm spending *January's* money, cause I get paid so far into the month. Could a future release perhaps have the option of offsetting the monthly graph by x days (like the 'allocate income' basically does)? Or, why is this a bad idea? What other things could I do to make sure I have the right info in front of me instead of (imho) slightly skewed? Ofcourse, when I looked at the real numbers I did not overspend and I did really well, and from future planned spendings it looks like I'll keep on doing well. The graph just threw me off there... cheers!
