I see what you are saying. I guess the way Moneywell does this one part doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I assumed that if the bucket is already full why would I add more? I would rather have that go in to savings 99% of the time. There is baby 3-4 buckets out of my 10+ that I want to grow. Here is another example of a way I tried to fix this issue. For Debt Repayment I have $15 left from February. When I go to allocate my income it wants to put the full amount for the first part of the month in to the bucket. It doesn't take in to account the $15. So I subtract $15 from the allocation to get the number I want. I then "cheated" and pulled up the allocation for my next paycheck. The allocation then added the $15 back for the 2nd allocation. In addition if before allocating my first paycheck I put that $15 in my savings bucket Moneywell keeps trying to add an additional $15 to cover that money flow as it now appears that bucket is in the red. This just seems like a lot of extra work on my part for what I think the application should do naturally... I don't know.... maybe I should submit a feature request so you can set this functionality on a per bucket basis? Another example is it costs me $13 to get a haircut every couple months in addition I pay for a membership of $17/month so for personal care I put $30 month in that bucket. Well I don't get a haircut every month so I don't want that bucket to keep growing. I don't want down the line to have $45 in there for a haircut. I will never spend that much. I want the app to see the bucket is full and tell me I have that money left over from my flows and I will put it in to savings. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
