In short, the support response was.."Yep, it's a bug; we'll notify the
product team!"

The only fix is to go into your budget and change every line item from
'recurring' to 'customized'-will correct it. If it's a dollar amount in the
Bill reminder, those amounts aren't affected.

I agree- a boo-boo that seems to have appeared in the fresh new M05.

I have tried to recreate this problem but I can't. ALL of my budget
amounts in February are exactly the same as they are in January
and March (with the exception of scheduled bills that show up in
February but not January or March).

I also don't recall ever seeing this problem before. Is it a
problem that started with M05? I'm currently using M04 Deluxe.
Prior to that I used M03 Standard, M02 Deluxe and M01 Deluxe.

over-automating

Yeah, I finally figured that out. I will have to go back and change them all
to recurring come 3/1

By the time it gets fixed, March will be well underway...

Thanks for the help!

An easy way to get around this is to enter a custom amount in your budget
rather than a recurring amount. On the edit your budget screen, you have the
choice between recurring (single amount, same each month) and custom (allows
you to enter a different amount for each month). If you enter the sma amount
for each month under custom, say $300, Money won't adjust the amount in Feb.

Default The February Budget Bug?

Ok, I pulled a report of my upcoming month's budget for Feb '05. All the
budgeted numbers are smaller, and look to be prorated on the number of days
in that month. When I pulled March, April, May 05, etc the amounts budgeted
were back to normal for a report of a full calendar month. So it appears
that only February is affected.

AArgh!!!
