Track 3 Budget Accounts in Money 07

#2 01-13-2007, 04:43 AM

Nothing prevents you from tracking spending individually. The budget is just
another layer above that. But you can certainly do things like report the
spending in teach account separately by category. That still may not get you
exactly where you want to go, but it's probably the closest you can do
easily.

We wanted to be able to track spending individually instead of as a whole.
Thanks for your immediate response. This forum is a greater than using the
useless "help" supplied within the program.

Money Budgets are systemic: they cover all expense/income across all (or a
specified subset) of accounts. This way they track spending regardless of
the account used to do it. This is probably not what you want but most
people find it more effective.

Here is my situation. My wife and I have personal checking accounts at our
bank. We therefore fund a third account at the same bank for Household
expenses. All of the accounts are linked to a savings account. Is there a way
to set up 3 separate budget accounts for myself, my wife and for the
household without creating separate money (*.mny) files for each?
