Transfers are not a budget problem--using the card in the first place is the
problem. This is why Money works the way it does. The transfer is a cash
flow problem. Learn to manage the two separately and you will find sticking
to a budget works much better--you worry about the spending when you whip
out the card, not 60 days later when you have to pay the bill.

Hello

I was wondering if someone could help out with the
following:

I want to set a limit for the amount of credit card
payments in my budget. To do that, I need to specify the
category for the transactions that I want to track in the
planner. However, when I enter a transaction for a credit
card payment into the register, I have to enter it as
a "special" transaction (i.e., "Credit Card Payment :
MASTER card"), so that it is linked in both "From"
and "To" accounts - otherwise, if I assign it to a
different category, the budget planner will see it as two
separate transactions.

The problem is that the budget planner does not allow
adding "special" categories - looks like it's only
limited to Expenses and Income.

Does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Thanks.

Regards,

Sergey
