Budget intends to get the amount of your expenses from categorized
transactions entered in account registers. There is no other way for any of
the budget reports to determine an actual expense amount to show and compare
to your budget.

I'm not an experienced user of Money. All I want to do is use the Budget
module to set up projected expenses(which I've done) and manually enter the
Actual amount spent to get the balance. For the life of me, I cannot find how
to do it.
