Mystery budget numbers

#1 10-11-2004, 03:29 AM

I've experienced plenty of strange behavior in the budget
like that. Sometimes numbers are WAY off, and other
times the budget decides not to show some monthly line
items at all. It's so bad that the budget feature is
totally useless.

And I can confirm that bugs in the budget from Money2004
still exist in 2005. It's the same underlying engine,
they just made the interface crappier... and broke other
stuff.

There's a bug in money that bills previously set up but deleted remain in
the budget. As far as I know, that's not fixed in 2005. Perhaps someone else
can refute that.

I have recently set up a new budget in Money. In the new
budget, two line item show up with incorrect numbers. I
have bill payment setup for my car insurance, and my
renter's insurance. These bills create autmoatic line
items.

However, in the budget report, the "budgeted amount" for
both of these items show up four time their original
amounts. I have deleted all old budgets, and started
with a blank budget, rather than an auto fill.

Any ideas?
