Lance & Blair, I am following this thread and it's a good discussion but buckets are meant to contain transactions and that's what user-defined smart buckets will display.
Having better ways to review money flows is important but a lower priority than some of the features that have been discussed for the past two years. Thanks again and keep the ideas flowing. I don't ignore any of them.
