Kevin, I'm curious about Rule #3. Let me tell you about my use: I set up my car payment as a scheduled transaction, and had it repeat for all the car payments I have left, to save myself some effort. This caused all 40+ pending transactions to be shown in the register. I didn't care to be reminded daily of how many are remaining, so I set the "future" period as 30 days, and had MW hide Future Pending Transactions. That way, I only see one car payment at a time, and still see other upcoming transactions, so I know when I need to move money from savings to checking. However, I noticed that now my buckets don't show the "forecasted" totals that include pending transactions for the month. This was very handy in allowing me to proactively flow money around because, for example, my Utilities bucket was in the red once I entered the bills that are coming up. Now that I'm hiding the future payments, the Utilities bucket looks deceptively full, because the electricity bill isn't due yet. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
