First, thank you for the program, which looks like it will be much more effective in keeping me on track with spending than quicken even was. I started using this in February and am starting to get this figured out, I think. So I was going to use a new cash flow starting date of March 1, but it's not working as I expected. I had cash on hand, so I put that in the salary bucket as cash to spend. But at first, it showed multiple negative balances in the expense buckets and zero in the salary bucket. I closed the program and went back in, and it then showed the cash on hand in the salary bucket, but negative amounts in several buckets. I reclosed and reopened the program again, and it now shows a positive amount in the salary bucket for cash on hand, and a negative amount in the debt repayment bucket, which equals the amount of pending transactions I have for future dates in March. Is this last what it is supposed to do? Any ideas on why I had to close and reopen the program twice to get there? I'm a little concerned there's a bug on my system.
Also, when I reconciled my checking account, one of the reconciled transactions has an icon with 3 horizontal bars instead of a green checkmark. When I click on the transaction, it shows reconciled in the status panel on the right. What does the 3 bars mean? And sorry for the basic questions, but can you tell me what the difference is between cleared and reconciled in the status field? And, finally (!): I have some cash on hand in my checking that I wanted to put into savings with the intention of using it to make an annual note payment later this year. It's not really part of the monthly spending plan, so do you all recommend just ignoring it? Thanks!
