That concept worked for me, but the current does, too. You just have to know what it's telling you, what to pay attention to, and what to ignore. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

| If I create an expense in my budget that is "yearly" for say, $1200. Money automatically translates that into $100 per month on my monthly budget. At first, I thought, that's cool, now I can make sure to earmark $100 every month so I actually have the $1200 sitting there when its due. But, as far as I can tell, Money doesn't have a way to earmark that $100 that month. In fact, if I don't spend that $100 on that budget category, Money tells me that I have underspent that category for the month. Then, when I pay the $1200 bill, it tells me that that I have overspent by $1100! So, if I have an annual (or other non-monthly) expense, how do I allocate the monthly budgeted amount so that money understands that I'm setting that money aside, and doesn't complain when I pay the the full bill? Do I have re-allocate budget funds every month? |
