Default RE: Double budget entries

I'm having the same problem, or similar anyway...
"Other Income" which is 0

when I go to budget vs spending for the previous month, it shows my budgeted
gross income, but doubled!

Also, for the expenses, in the budget setup I have a monthly home loan
payment that is also getting doubled up when I look at budget versus spending.

Allan

I set up my advanced budget using autobudget.
I have a gross monthly income amount, which is correct and then a second line

Chris,
Thanks for reply! Thats what I went back and did. How did it get there in
the first place? Does Money fill it in automatically or did I do that on my
own and forget?
I've got another question regarding budget. When I look at next month's
budget, some of the items show double the amount that will be due. Their
entries look fine in the budget editing screen. What am I missing on that
one?

You use the 'Other Expenses' line only for items that are not part of a
scheduled bill. If your scheduled bill is the entire expense, leave 'Other
expenses' blank.

Default Double budget entries

New stupid user here with question about why I get some budget items listed
twice?
(Using advanced budget). For example, under the main budget group labeled
"Insurance", there is an item listed under the heading "Insurance:Life". This
item has a red arrow pointing up to the left of. It is called "My Life
Insurance" with the correct monthly cost listed. This is set up as a bill.
When I click the edit button for this item, I get the screen that shows the
payee details at top of page, with the payment information listed under it.
The "remove" button grays out.
Directly under that item is another item called "Other Expenses for
"Insurance:Life"" with the same correct monthly cost listed. When I go to the
edit screen for that item, it pops up a box titled "Edit Insurance:Life" that
lets you enter a new recurring amount, or change to a custom amount for each
month. It also allows me to "view spending".
The monthly cost for both the "My Life Insurance" and "other Expensesfor
"Insurance:Life"" are added together, which doubles the budget amount.
I'm missing something right in front of my nose, what is it?
