Hey Ritch,

This was discussed in another thread last week:
http://groups.google.com/group/no-thirst-software/browse_thread/thread/9d906bf869d479a2

If you want the current version of MoneyWell to work the way you are
expecting, then every time you create a manual money flow, you also
need to make a corresponding change to your spending plans for the 2
affected buckets.

For example, if you only spent $84.25 on gas in the 1st half of the
month and moved the rest to another bucket, then you need to reduce
the spending plan for gas for this month from $240 down to $204.25
(84.25 + 120). You might also need to make a corresponding change for
the spending plan in whatever bucket you transfered the excess money
to, depending on how you want the Allocate Income to handle that.

This can obviously get tedious if it happens a lot, and I think the
suggestion here is to avoid using the Allocate Income feature in these
situations.

Kevin mentioned that there should be some more intelligence in how the
Allocate Income feature will work starting in v1.5. I would prefer
that MoneyWell adjust the spending plan amounts for you in these
scenarios but I seem to be in the minority. The likely solution will
be a way to have Allocate Income ignore manual money flows so it flows
the amount you would expect in the 2nd half of the month regardless of
what happened in the 1st half.
