Hi Lynne,

When you filter your buckets to a specific month, it shows the  
transactions total in each bucket instead of your cash flow. Simply  
click the background of the graph to get the cash flow view back.

Let me know if this is still confusing.

Now I'm even more confused!  It won't show the March inflow into the
buckets, except in the right-hand panel.  When I open the app, it shows the
Feb buckets.  It won't show ANY inflow into any buckets from March in the
buckets, although the panel on the right-hand side shows there were inflows
from allocating the salary.  When I click on the background of the graph, at
first it shows nothing in the buckets.

After clicking on the background repeatedly, it now shows an amount in the
Automobile bucket that is $ 13.45 less than the total inflows from Feb and
March minus the total outflows.  But the little arrow that shows the date
tracking was supposed to start is still on March.  And it's now doing
something strange with allocating income where, instead of allocating the
amount I tell it to do, it puts in half of what it put in last time.

Hi Lynn,

If you started your cash flow tracking as of March 1, 2009 there won't  
be any inflows to any bucket except the one income bucket you set to  
get your cash flow start amount.

You should only need to click on the graph background once to see the  
bucket amounts go from gray back to red/green. Here are the steps you  
should have followed to get started with MoneyWell:

  1. Created buckets and accounts when prompted
  2. Set your cash flow start date using Edit > Change Cash Flow Start  
Date
  3. Set your Spending Plan
  4. Allocate Income to your buckets

You can have several months of transaction history without tracking  
cash flow. In step 2, add up all your available spending cash (exclude  
savings and investments) to use as the amount and that will take care  
of all the money you had left over from previous months. Check out our  
Getting Started and other video tutorials and let me know if they help.
