Thanks for the help!

Of course I am spending wisely...I have Money reminding me
how best to spend it....ie higher interest bills. LOL

It is at that point that the events would touch what I would expect
that you might want to put as an event in your Money file. It seems
to me that you received a gift. GiftReceived seems like the
appropriate pre-existing category. While a gift is a form of income,
it is not taxable income in the US.

Enter checks from your checking account with the appropriate

Be grateful, and spend wisely.

OK this may seem complicated or I might be seeing the
forest and not the trees but this is the situation.

Grandpa had land he put in my mother's name for me and my
brother, it has been sold. Check was payable to my Mother,
she paid the Capital gains out of the whole and gave the
rest to my brother and I, I then used some of the money to
pay off bills in full. How do I enter that in Money? I do
not want to have it as income so when I do taxes it shows
up, I tried to put it in an "dummy" account and
transfer/pay the bills from there but it really whacks the
budget out of balance.

Any suggestions proper or not?
