Good thinking, Drew. In fact, it's excellent thinking. Thanks, stuff
just suddenly clicked into place here! :D
I do believe you solved my problem. I kinda had the nagging feeling
that assigning account transfers to an income bucket felt "wrong"
somehow, yet I couldn't quite explain to myself how.
Michael,
If I understand you correctly, I think that you would want to set the
allocation for 1st Half. This will ensure that when you want to
allocate on the 1st of the month, all your money will be allocated in
the 1st half (which is the half that you're in on the 1st of the
month). I
There must be something else going on here
Adding money to a savings expense bucket has the same net effect as
adding money to an income bucket.
Look at this way... I could "unspend Savings" and put the money back
into the Savings bucket that I took out. Or I could put the money
into
Wow... I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting all that
effort into such an excellent and informative post. Things are, very
much, crystal clear now.
Your setup is conceptually similar to what I was trying to achieve,
but I got confused by all the buckets and I most certainly violated
Hi Bill,
I would have thought the same, but Kevin and Drew are saying that as
the buckets are set to all month, the setting should be the second
half. I will try next month. I have no more money to allocate :-(
Best wishes

Hello! I am wondering what everyone does for their finance charges. Do
you put them in a bucket or not? Technically, you wouldn't have to b/c
you are paying the charge and the payment at the same time. But I
could see the other side too.
What is the gist?
Thanks!

Hi Dave... I have a "Bank Fees" bucket for all fees charged by the
banks including credit cards. I'm not sure why--they just make me
mad. :-)

I now know what my problem was. I was stupid. Imagine that.
I was thinking that my bucket balance should not be more than my
(main) account balance. That is simply not true. After much haranguing
and time machining, I figured out that because I use my credit cards
occasionally (plus finance charg
Should I be using the buckets for all of the accounts (ie. checking,
savings, cash, credit cards, etc.), or should I just use it for my
checking account? I'm a little confused by this, and wonder how I
would use the buckets for accounts such as cash or credit cards.
Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem... another way to summarize all the rules would be:
Always assign deposits/withdrawals in accounts that are above the line
to a bucket. Never assign deposits/withdrawals in accounts that are
below the line to buckets.
This general rule would apply whether the transaction is a par
Daniel,
You would select which accounts to use for buckets based on their
type. Those accounts that provide money to you to spend on a monthly
basis should be included in the bucket system. These accounts would
include:
Checking accounts
Cash accounts
As far as credit cards are concerned
I was just thinking the same thing. How about a preview video or some
screenshots?

To clarify, you in fact can select a second-half allocation during the
