I'm a first time user of gnucash and I've run into a challenge that I can't figure out.
Preface: My budget is a plan. My budget is a zero based budget, meaning that I start with the income I'm expecting, and I "spend" all of it until nothing is left every month. Part of that "spending" is transferring $$ into savings, which is a net zero Income/Expense transaction. Hypothetical: Every month I receive $3000 net. I need to "spend" 15% of that by moving it to my Roth IRA. So, I transfer $450.00 to my IRA from my Checking account (Liquid to Non-liquid asset transfer). I would figure that on my Budget, I could enter $450.00 as a value for the IRA asset account and it would be subtracted from the total at the bottom of the budget in the "transfer" row thereby reducing what I have left to spend for that month. Problem: Some asset accounts affect the transfer value on the budget and some don't. I understand how to do a transfer from a register, but "planning" for that transfer such that it affects the budget bottom line seems to be spotty. What am I missing? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
