Daniel, If you don't have any money flows but your have historic transactions from Jan. 1, 2009, you're cash flow is going to be very wrong. Here's why: 1. Add payroll checks of $1000 twice a month for 3 months 2. Don't allocate any of this salary for those 3 months 3. Salary bucket will show you have $6000 to spend when I doubt you do I may be missing something in your setup but unless you start cash flow and allocate starting at that point, the in and out flows of transactions will skew your actual amount in each bucket. Also, having cash flow history doesn't help in most cases because it isn't as relevant as spending history. That's why MoneyWell allows you to restart your cash flow tracking at the beginning of any month so you can clean the slate.
