I would agree with that statement for expense buckets, but it doesn't really apply to "savings" buckets. MoneyWell doesn't currently distinguish "savings" buckets from expense buckets, but many people use buckets to accumulate cash towards certain savings goals. As Vivek mentioned, it would be nice to have a single top level Savings bucket (which you keep collapsed down most of the time) and then have sub buckets underneath that which earmark some subset of your savings towards a particular goal. Currently the only way to do this is create a separate bucket for every goal, but this takes up lots of screen real estate. I ended up moving all my savings buckets into a separate MoneyWell file to better handle this. I'm not sure how tagging would address the screen real estate problem, unless some GUI tricks are done to break down a bucket by tag or something similar (which would be pretty cool). -Lance --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
