I'm loving MW, but there is something I'm wondering that I figured I'd better get straight right away.
Here's the thing: I started using MoneyWell right after I'd changed banks. The new accounts had their first transactions being the money left over in my old bank accounts, so I totalled them up and set the money flow start date to their date (14th of May) and added their total to an income bucket. So far so good. I got my salary from my employer, assigned that transaction to the Salary income bucket, and flowed the money into the expense buckets. So far so good. During the month, I was in total control of what I was spending where, and how much I had left to spend on each category. No other personal finance app I've tried has given me this clear and easy-to-access information before. I'll definitely buy this app because of this. Today, when I opened MW, all of my expense buckets were empty. I scratched my head a bit, but found out that changing the money flow start date to 1st of June (leaving the other two fields displaying what they did when I set up MW in the second paragraph here) brought the bucket amounts back to what they were yesterday. Now, my question is: is this the right way to do it? Are you supposed to change the money flow start date each month? Or will this lead to problems later? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
