Kevin, Many thanks for your prompt reply.
I have set up a spending plan and while it largely mirrored what I had already allaocated I made some intentional differences and these were reflected in new flow adjustments. So now I have a spending plan and allocated income to buckets based on this all within the limits of my original starting balance (I haven't been paid yet). What happens at the end of the month to the Spending Plan for May? There may well be buckets I haven't reached the limit on and hopefully this should be reflected in the fact that I have money left in my checking account (if I have not gone in the red on other buckets!! :o) ). Just want to get my head round how the bucket / spending plan works in an ongoing, month to month fashion. Also what is the relevance of the timing of the month? I get paid early in the month but if I set Salary to First Half, I have expenses in second half that show as red as there is no money income from second half of the month despite me not spending all my salary in the first half of the month? Just setting up my accounts and transactions yesterday I really think this is the program to help me get a handle on my 'spending habits'. I have used MS Money before changing to Mac and while that recorded where your money went it wasn't easy to see where you had over spent. The one page view is really great and makes you feel in control and not like you need a MS certification to understand something that can be tricky enough!!
