So I have been using MW now for a month. I KNOW I am using it as it supposed to be used for now... I am kind of establishing my spending plan as I go. For instance i didn't plan to buy MW when created my plan. I was going to just try it out. So I bought it and created a bucket for Computer Software after the fact as i also decided to upgrade to Leopard and to upgrade my old financial program (iBank) as a fall back. So I assigned transactions to that bucket and did a manual flow from income to bring that bucket back to zero because I did indeed use money from my income buckets to buy the software.
**** As an aside is that a good way to build on your spending plan. If you buy something or realize you need a new category do you create the bucket, assign the transaction and do a manual flow? **** Because of an unexpected trip our gas and dining buckets got blown way out of our spending plan. Again since I used the money from my income buckets I just did a manual flow to zero them out instead of worrying that I was negative $200 for dining next month. Yes, I fully understand that this how I need to think about MW and my finances and I will (I already have actually) but I am more about getting my head around the concept still and not be fooled into thinking I have more than I do. Which I am not really fooled because the Register/Accounts portion is fully reconciled so at least I have that. Just trying to figure out why I seem to have $1000 MORE than in my income buckets than I actually in my account. Am I rambling again? *sigh* Thanks Lenny --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
