Default Re: Please help! How do you increase an expense in your budget wit

but you can create a new budget 'from this day forward' to reflect the change
in thinking, but have it not be applied to the previous months...

You can't. Money doesn't freeze past budget amounts. It's a bad design, but
that's what it is.

Default Please help! How do you increase an expense in your budget without affecting the past reports?

OK imagine I have a budget in which I've been spending 100$ per month on
movies.

Last month I spent $120 on movies so I was over my budget by $20.

Now I decide "I think I will up my spending on movies to $140 per
month." I make the change in my budget, now when I look back at how I've
done it calculates at $140 the whole way back through my money file and
so it looks like I actually saved $20!

This is NOT what happened. I want to increase the expense from a certain
date not apply it retropsectively to the whole budget!

How do you stop this from happening?????

Paul
