Understood, but you could also mark the Surplus bucket as hidden to keep it out of sight, or as Blair suggested, MoneyWell could figure out what this surplus amount is when you first set up so you would still get the goodness of the checking. > I think it's great that we all can use the same tool in different > ways.

My argument is that this type of checking should be enabled by DEFAULT, as this seems to be a common stumbling block for new users. If you really want to let your balances diverge, fine, but this should be a conscience decision and you should be aware of the pitfalls in doing so. Judging from the many posts to this group, most users are unintentionally creating divergences between their balances and getting confused. -Lance --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
