Brett, If you pay early, MoneyWell will treat it as a graph entry on that date but your cash will still flow right. In other words, if you take out $50 for lunches on Feb. 27, that amount will stay removed from that bucket when March starts.
You only need to allocate early if you don't have enough money in your buckets.
