Hi Tony,

To simplify this scenario, you start your cash flow with all your  
available spending money (usually your account balances) less any  
outstanding transactions. You only have to do this one time to get  
your primary income bucket set up. Then each time you add a deposit  
transaction, you assign that to an income bucket and allocate it to  
your expense buckets.

What Blair is suggesting might be confusing because he is a bit more  
proactive with credit card payments. If you haven't spent the money  
yet, you can simply deposit the whole amount and then make your credit  
card payment when it happens.

Peace,
