The thing is, there was no "starting balance" for the accounts. I started using MW at the same time I changed banks, so all of my accounts had zero balance in them. I guess the closest thing to a "starting balance" transaction was the couple of deposits of money that were transferred from my old bank, but the way I assigned these to an income bucket was via the "Change money flow start date" and set the starting cash flow amount there.
I have tried setting this amount to zero and assigning the initial transactions to income buckets, but the whole thing ends up exactly the same. The only way I can think that this kind of thing has happened was if we recieved cash that we forgot to register in Moneywell, but rembered to register when we used them. And while we're on the subject of cash, I have no way of knowing if the cash balance is correct. I find the cash account to be impossible to keep track of, what with the two of us (me and my wife) receving and spending cash from a number of different sources, and with cash lying around the house, in pockets, in the car, etc. :S But still, I would think that this lack of control would lead to the opposite problem: that there was no money in our accounts, yet still more to spend in our income buckets. :S Oh well. The amounts in question aren't vast, so I guess I could just transfer them into the savings account (which is never available for spending anyways) and then just pull the missing spendable amount back into the spending account, registering the transaction in an income bucket.
