You're making this too complicated. It's really simple. Moneyflows, allocating income into buckets, only deals with money you physically possess right now, today: money in your mattress, checking account, savings account, cash in your pocket. You cannot allocate money you don't have. Trying to do allocations for past months is a total waste of energy because that's all history. So, that means you want to start allocating from today. Now this being only June 2nd, set your Cash Flow Start Date to June 1, 2009 (yesterday), and pretend it today is June 1. Now allocate money you physically possessed on June 1. > > One more question.

If you're paying an expense, why don't you want to put money in the bucket? Terry Norton I started off with nothing...I still have most of it left. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
