Kriya, In order to know exactly how much money you have to allocate, as well as allow you to change your starting balance to some point in the past or in the future, I recommend a slightly different approach. You might consider making a backup of your file and comparing the two approaches

Kevin, I can send you a copy of my ReceiptWallet file if you want to see a sample implementation of a package format. Receipt Wallet uses a document/library that is a singular file but includes the receipts in its package. You can actually view every receipt if you choose to view

I also like the fact that there is a memo for the buckets themselves. Starting with the new year, I'll be using this field to keep track of how I came up with the bucket totals, so that when a component of the bucket changes, I know how much to change the bucket amount. For instance,

Dan, Like I mentioned earlier today, getting started with any financial software is difficult, and I think it is a challenge to have video tutorials that address each unique situation. For that matter, trying to write an e-mail may even be more difficult. I will try and mention some

Is it possible to repeat split transactions? Dan, currently, there is no functionality within MoneyWell to repeat split transactions. You could repeat multiple individual transactions if you needed to forecast, and then delete them when the actual transaction comes, applying the
