I had seen this one before but had not really set up yet. However, I decided to fanatically start my emergency fund, so I set it up according to your last suggestion (I already had a bucket 'saving', so I simply created one called 'EF' and 'macbook' cause I plan to save for a macbook too, but first the emergency fund). It went very smooth and it looks like how I expect it. I do have one question though, do you make the second savings bucket (EF in my case) a spending or an income bucket? I made it a spending bucket at first and then the graph would drop below zero (negative spending) so I switched to income (and not included in combined income) but I'm not sure yet... I do like the idea of it being an income bucket, because it's an emergency fund and that way I can technically use it in case of emergency to flow money to my high priority spending bucket (mortgage, groceries, insurance etc). I wouldn't make my 'macbook' savings income though.What are your thoughts on this?
I would definitely make it a spending bucket, just to make sure to not accidentally "allocate income" from it. About the graphs, we've talked about it quite a bit on the list and there should be more options for graphing "accumulating buckets" in 2.0.
