I've done that too...I think the problem is with my gross wages. I'm going to
delete my paychecks and re-enter them. We'll see if that fixes the problem.

I never let Money do anything automatically because of wacky results like
you are seeing. I suggest setting up your budget manually, it will work a
lot better. Use Bills and Deposits first to list all of your repeating
items then fill in the rest from the regular Budget screens.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that and it showed my budgeted income was
almost twice as what it should be. However, when I go back to the income
section of the budget, I see a monthly total that when multiplied by 12 is a
more accurate number. I have no idea where the system is getting that figure.

I also just deleted that budget and started from scratch. In this case, I
had the auto budget automatically fill in the categories based on my previous
spending. I did this for both income and expense (selecting all categories).
The expenses showed I was spending more than I was bringing in. However, when
I went to the "savings goal" screen, it said I had $1800 to spend. Where the
hell is that coming from? If my expenses are more than my income, how did I
get an extra $1800 to spend?

I have no idea what is wrong.

When my budget gives me weird numbers, I look at the Annual Budget report
which shows every income and every expense item in monthly columns and then
I always find my mistake.

So, I set up my budget with my income categories and my expenses categories
that I wanted and I get approximately $700 left over. When I click "next" and
get to the "savings goals" screen, it says I have $2800 to spend or save. I
wish. What is going on? I've reviewed all my income and zero'd out those
categories I do not wish to have, but to no avail...I've also deleted those
categories from my budget, but still no go...
