Drew and Kevin, If I'm reading Drew's comments correctly, it seems to conflict with the logic outlined in the FAQ and link that he provides. The FAQ states:
"When set to the first half, MoneyWell will fill all the buckets set to "First Half" fully and the buckets set to "All Month" partially. Those buckets set to "Second Half" are ignored." The way I interpret this, if you set the allocation timing of a bucket to the first half of the month, that bucket is given priority and the "fill to" amount is filled completely. The FAQ seems to stated that you prioritize the timing of expense buckets based on when in the month (first half/second half) you pay the bill. It seems logical that you can then allocate income to those buckets in the first half of the month for expenses that are incurred in the first half of the month. Lastly, is timing for when you allocate income a variable in this process? For example, I'm paid on the 15th and the 30th of the month and had planned on allocating income after I log income for each date. I'm assuming that I will log the income on the 15th, use the allocate income process, and my buckets that are set as "first half" will be prioritized. Then on the 30th, I'll do the same process and my buckets set for the "second half" will be prioritized. Am I understanding correctly and is this the best process to follow?
