I very consciously made the decision to allow my Bucket Balance to be far below my account balances. To me, bucket amounts are what you have decided to spend, and I DO NOT want to spend every penny I own. Some of the money I have in savings I plan to spend, but most of it is money that should not factor into my plans for spending. Fundamentally, however, bucket balances are meta-information separate from reality, and have different meaning for individual users. They are simply a tool for your goals, and it's up to you to form them into depictions of what you need to know. It's fine if you see them as another way of catching errors in data entry. I want buckets to allow me to save as much as possible, so it's useful for me to have balances that tell me I have less to spend than I actually do. Forcing this metadata to fit reality with default behavior, however, will disrupt its benefits to users like me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
