In my case, I don't allocate any funds to my bank fees bucket. When I am charged a fee from my bank, it's usually small enough that I can allocate funds from other buckets to cover the cost.
If you have several buckets in which you do not want the total to breach a set amount, in my opinion what you should do is since you are in fact saving money, you should re-allocate (or flow) the difference between the total and the amount that you set into your savings bucket. Alternatively, since the amount left in each bucket at the end of the month can vary, you can override the amount you wish to be allocated at the beginning of next month in the 'allocate income' window. If the bucket does not need any additional income, set the amount to be allocated to '0' or the amount needed to bring the bucket to the amount you specified. txcrew On Mar 1, 12:38 pm, needo <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mar 1, 1:16 am, Brent Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > > > What you describe is the standard behavior.
