Hi all, This is what I was trying to achieve, just for clarity.
All my direct debits come out of Moneywell on the 1st of the month. I am paid on the first on the month. I want to fill my buckets in one go at that time. From what I am reading I need to set the allocate income to the 2nd half of the month and all will be well. Looking forward to next month :-) Best wishes Michael On Jun 8, 3:13 am, Druzyne <drew.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jason, > > I just wanted to make sure you understand that the "Timing" of an > allocation is specified in two places: once on your Spending Plan, > where you specify First Half/Second Half/All Month for each bucket; > and second on the Allocate Income panel (after you click the "Allocate > Income" icon) where you specify that the allocation is for the First > Half or Second Half of the month. > > The setting on the Allocate Income panel seems to adjust automatically > based on the current date, but it can be changed.
