So, I am slowly figuring out MoneyWell and have done the following to my satisfaction:
- set up all my accounts to download financial info automatically - Set up buckets and made a monthly spending plan for each bucket Now, I am ready to use the program for its true use - envelope budgeting - but am running into a few issues that are stumping me. QUESTION 1 --- I notice that by clicking on a month in the graph, only that month's information will show up in the flow buckets on the left side of the screen. So if I am planning for my current spending, does this mean I should always have the current month selected, effectively making the view when no specific month is selected (the default view) useless for managing this month's spending? QUESTION 2 ---I have set my cash flow start date to 4/1, and have had 2 salary checks that are waiting to be allocated that have come in between 4/1 and today (4/16), which total $1454.24 (showing up as such in my salary bucket). however, when I click "allocate income," my salary to allocate shows up as an amount less than half of that ($613) and, even stranger, the "total new flow amount" is $33. Why is this flow so small? Shouldn't it be allocating all of the income that is available to me? How do I properly allocate all of the income I have? As an FYI, my "planned" salary in the spending plan is $670. Thanks for helping with these questions. I feel like I'm really close to understanding how moneywell works, and am really excited to leverage its power. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
