 Hi Andy,

 I'm thrilled that you like MoneyWell.

 Credit card accounts should have a negative starting balance (a  
 charge). Make sure this is how you set it up.

 Also, look at the FAQ section of our website. It gives more details  
 about this. Thanks.

  Firstly, I bought the app today as part of the MacUpdate bundle (it's
  the only app I've used so far actually!)... I love it, and it's
  exactly what I needed.

  I have a question though which will hopefully be simple for someone to
  answer!

  When I set-up a withdrawal from my main account, set up as a Debt
  Repayment to go to a loan or credit card, I'm assuming I set the
  account to and from to the relevant accounts?

  However, when I do this, the amount is correctly subtracted from my
  main account but is then added onto the balance of the loan or credit
  card, whereas it should be taken away?

  Have I got something wrong?

  (Also - just a quick feature request - having it calculate loan
  interest would be wonderful!)

  Many thanks in advance,

  Andy

[No Thirst Software] Re: Tracking financial interactions with other people

2009-05-29 Thread Oleg Iavorskyi

Thank you for reply. Maybe for this particular case it will work but
in case I'd need to change money flows due to overtaking from Dining
Out bucket it would be really hard to remember to move money back to
the original bucket.

In any case I think that owing money shouldn't be threated as income
or expense. I didn't really eat out for two persons moreover I do need
to know that I still have this money as my asset regardless of where
they physically is. I think of them more like transfers and in other
application I've modeled them as transfers too - from my checking
account to special personal account John Doe, for example. This way
I could see our interpersonal balance with John - either negative,
when I have to return credit, or positive, when I should get them
back.

In MW we have buckets which complicates such interaction. Let's think
about how in 1931 people owe money. There was no envelope signed like
Owe to others as one couldn't plan for this. Usually it was money
left in other envelopes or some savings. But how did these people know
that money wasn't spent but rather blocked for some time? They
should write it down somewhere! However MW doesn't provide such
capability or I'm not smart enough to figure this out :).

So the ultimate question is how to block some amount of money from
being available for spending? It's not about setting start date for
money flows. It's about having outside buckets where you could put
and get money but these operations don't mean income or expenses. Such
paradigm will solve not only problem of tracking interactions with
other persons but also tracking of savings.

Seems that I came up with kind of feature request :) However I
understand that after yesterday's emails hell this may just be not the
best time to post it.

If you really want to track at this level of detail, you could create
a bucket for every person and split your Dining Out transactions that
way.

A slightly less complex solution would be to create a single generic
Money Loaned bucket and whenever you loan someone money, you assign
it to this bucket and put their name in the memo field. This way you
can quickly search for a person's name and quickly see all the money
loaned out to and paid back from that person and the sum of those
transactions and this wouldn't skew your Dining Out or other buckets.

But unless there is going to be a long period of time between loaning
out the money and getting paid back, I'm not sure this is worth the
extra trouble. If you assign the entire transaction to Dining Out,
sure it looks like you spent a little more than you really did, but
that will correct itself as soon as you get paid back.

Thanks for the feedback. MoneyWell actually searches both the payee  
and memo fields for the alias you set up in the memorized  
transactions. Any memorized transaction can have multiple aliases so  
you get an OR matching scenario as well. With each memorized  
transaction, you can tell MoneyWell to update individual fields as  
well as the payee or just the payee.

I haven't really found a need in my transaction matching for more than  
this. What 1.5 will do is give you more control over generic terms  
that should be ignored like WITHDRAWAL or DEPOSIT so false positives  
can be reduced.

On May 28, 4:03 pm, Glenn B. gbolton...@gmail.com wrote:
 How about using the Dashboard's calculator? It lays transparently over
 the current application(MoneyWell). It's what I've done so far and the
 good thing is you can still see your transaction while using the
 calculator.

Good suggestion for basic calculations, but the dashboard calculator
does not allow simple sales tax codes (as far as I know). For
instance, I may have a receipt for 20 items which fit into 3 different
buckets (e.g., Groceries, Household Supplies, Pet Care) and thus
require a split transaction entry. While most of the items are not
taxed, some of the items are taxed at 5% (GST in Ontario), some are
taxed at 8% (PST), and some have both taxes applied (13%). On the fly,
I need to be able to use assigned keys during the calculations to
automatically apply the appropriate tax(es) to items or totals.
Quicken has always handled this well with its inline calculator (one
of the few things I used to like about it). I currently use Calq
(freeware) which is made exactly for this purpose. While working in
MoneyWell, I can quickly open Calq (which still allows you to
completely see what you are doing in MoneyWell) and start performing a
pseudo-inline calculation - by pressing p or g or b (b for
both). These configureable key presses quickly perform the necessary
tax adjustments. When I have a total to enter into a portion of a
split transaction, I simply press command-C (copy) and Calq
disappears, leaving the MoneyWell field that I started with selected
so I can paste into it. I know this may sound complicated, but it is
really rather simple - even elegant. If anyone needs something like
this, try it out. The only thing that I can see that would improve on
this would be the MoneyWell inline calculator with the configurable
tax codes - Kevin has indicated that these are being looked at down
the road. For now, I am fine, and a very happy user of MoneyWell! I
bought a license soon after my initial post.

On May 29, 2009, at 4:41 PM, DM wrote:

 Are the aliases exact string matches?

 My scenario is I have 'American Express' depositing money from credit
 card transaction into my bank account. The memo includes the date the
 transaction was processed so it is unique. Once a month they charge me
 their fees with a different (and also unique to that transaction) memo
 field.

 example:

 05/04/09  AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090502,$143.60
 05/04/09  AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090504,$745.49
 05/01/09  AMERICAN EXPRESS, COLLECTION 090501,-$4.95
 05/01/09  AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090501,$1,424.90


No, they are payee or memo CONTAINS alias tests. For the above, you  
could have one alias AMERICAN EXPRESS, COLLECTION to match the  
withdrawals and another AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT to match the  
deposits. You could even do AMERICAN EXPRESS for the latter because  
MoneyWell tests the longer aliases first and then checks for the  
shorter, more generic ones.

The alias can be in any part of the payee or memo so you can have the  
alias MCDONAL and it will match a payee Electronic withdrawal to  
MCDONAL and your memorized payee can then be McDonald's and assign  
a bucket of Dining to the imported transaction.

  Are the aliases exact string matches?

  My scenario is I have 'American Express' depositing money from credit
  card transaction into my bank account. The memo includes the date the
  transaction was processed so it is unique. Once a month they charge me
  their fees with a different (and also unique to that transaction) memo
  field.

  example:

  05/04/09   AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090502,            $143.60
  05/04/09   AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090504,            $745.49
  05/01/09   AMERICAN EXPRESS, COLLECTION 090501,            -$4.95
  05/01/09   AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090501,            $1,424.90

 No, they are payee or memo CONTAINS alias tests. For the above, you  
 could have one alias AMERICAN EXPRESS, COLLECTION to match the  
 withdrawals and another AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT to match the  
 deposits. You could even do AMERICAN EXPRESS for the latter because  
 MoneyWell tests the longer aliases first and then checks for the  
 shorter, more generic ones.

 The alias can be in any part of the payee or memo so you can have the  
 alias MCDONAL and it will match a payee Electronic withdrawal to  
 MCDONAL and your memorized payee can then be McDonald's and assign  
 a bucket of Dining to the imported transaction.

[No Thirst Software] Moneywell is running at 98% cpu usage virtually all of the time… why?

2009-05-29 Thread markie mark

no other apps are this cpu intensive! i have a 1gb macbook that runs
Adobe Creative Suite and other apps with no problems.

why does Moneywell need to use so much of the CPU processing? every
time i try and do about half a dozen transactions the Macbook freezes
with a spinning beach ball with the fans and disks working at full
pelt. Moneywell becomes unresponsive.

the only way round this is to force quit every time. not good…

is there anything that can be done to solve this issue? i love this
app but if this cannot work on my mac efficiently then i will be
looking to use another app from another supplier very shortly.

cheers,

mark

 Hi! I am new to Moneywell.

 Is there a way to display the subtotals after every transaction of the
 whole account? I know the total is displayed in the upper left hand
 side but I want to know what the total is after every transaction. Can
 you do that?


Please read Why is there no running balance? for more information on  
daily balances. Thanks.

Hi Mark,

MoneyWell doesn't use very much CPU at all normally. Please try  
deleting your preferences (~/Library/Preferences/ 
com.NoThirst.MoneyWell.plist) and then run MoneyWell again.

[No Thirst Software] Changing the Month Cycle

2009-05-29 Thread wisemanleo

I get paid monthly on the 12th, and so the monthly budget I want to
create goes from the 12th to the 12th of every month. However, I
notice that any scheduled transactions I create for any date between
the 1st and the 12th, does not automatically deduct from the bucket
amount the current date is still before the 1st (i.e, May 30th). Does
Moneywell only strictly work from the first to the last of every
month? Is it not possible to change this?

MoneyWell does use a calendar month for its cash flow cycle. You can  
use adjust the allocate cycle a few days early in the Allocate Income  
panel if you use your end of month paycheck to fund the next month and  
wish to allocate early.
