I don't believe this would be productive. Changing your Spending Plan should be a deliberate choice on your part, and not an automatic process you might not notice or forget about, because you are defining your goals. This tool is about trying to change your spending habits, and spending how you decide you want to, rather than accommodating your current practices. It's a plan that you should try to stick to each month, but there are manual flows you can fall back on for fluctuations. I find this much more convenient for flowing money than manually flowing everything, but I can see how this would present difficulties for unpredictable income. I believe such a situation might have been the thinking behind priority levels on the buckets, so that if you don't have enough to fill all the buckets, at least important ones like food, shelter and transportation will be filled. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
