Kevin, will it flow correctly even if my starting date is Mar 1? and if i happen to do the same thing end of this month (pay early for April), it will show that i am 2X over budget right? I set my starting date for Mar 1 and now i have $100 still in my bucket for this month even thou I wrote a check for $45 on 2/26 for THIS MONTH...ugh
No way (other than changing the transaction date) to make the graph entry accurate for this month? I don't like having the graph empty for the month when i know it's not really empty. thanks Kevin!
