Re: Credit card overspending
@dakinemaui I get that. I think I’m safe, though. I believe that the surplus in the CC category is because I’ve made adjustments in prior months to cover things that weren’t then needed.…

Re: Credit card overspending
@dakinemaui Thanks for the response. I get and agree with your 1 through 3, and that's ideally how I operate. I know that not keeping up is on me, and what can I say, I'm human.…

Re: Credit card overspending
@Periwinkle Flute But it does. If you open YNAB on December 31, you get December. If you open it the next day, you get January, and you don't ask for that, and as far as I know,…

Re: Credit card overspending
Well, since this topic has been resurrected, I think I'll come on back for a follow-up question: So, my CC balance once again went out of whack on me, and I think I understand why at this point,…

Re: Goal setting didn't reset
Hi all... Yes, I think that I solved it. I really wasn't aware there was a choice for type of saving goal--I haven't adjusted my goals in a long while now.…

Re: Goal setting didn't reset

Goal setting didn't reset
So I had a goal set for this month, hit it, paid the bill, and set up a new funding goal for next year at this same time. But for some reason, in spite of now being heavily underfunded in the…

Re: Credit card overspending
@dakinemaui As this is exactly how I use YNAB, I’ll keep at it and see if it becomes an issue again. Now that it’s ‘fixed’ on my end, I hope it won’t be an issue.

Re: Credit card overspending
@Nicole It's been sorted, but to answer you, yes. January shows overspending in the Car Repairs category, which then got zeroed in February and all that overspending hit the credit card in February,…

Re: Credit card overspending
OK. Hi everyone. As OP, I wanted to just fill in where this went, as I think I now know what was going on thanks to the help of YNAB staff going through my budget and pointing out an error on my…

@Move Light Sound Life Just because you asked, no, I don't future budget. I think it's a recipe for disaster to budget what you don't actually have in your account. I budget only after I have funds.…

Re: Credit card overspending
@jenmas OK, as an exercise in seeing what the reality is today, I'm willing to do this the next time I sit down to budget. The data isn't lost, no, but it isn't continuous anymore.…

Re: Credit card overspending
@bullfiniche It strikes me as more of a bad process choice than a bug. This is by design, it's just not a good design. Or at the very least, not good for people who are used to the YNAB4 way of…
