Re: Transaction history messed up, budget completely trashed now. Possible to roll-back to previous state? e.g. yesterday?
You'll learn far more by sorting out the mess than you will by trying to roll back.

Re: Setting Goals for Fixed Monthly Expenses
@Khaki Network You asked about fixed expenses, and just wanted to add, you don't need to have goals in YNAB for every category. So say if you are on an electricity or internet contract where the…

Re: Setting Goals for Fixed Monthly Expenses
I think a monthly fixed expense isn't a goal. It's a recurring transaction, which is budgeted for. You might have the 'goal' to get a better deal from your gas supplier for example,…

Re: Side-by-side monthly view?
@Waystone Yeah I get that they don't want it to look like something a bit scary that an accountant might use. But I am sure there is a middle way. The multiple view was optional after all.

Re: Side-by-side monthly view?

Re: The nasty averages
@Nicole 😆 Thanks! I didn't realise they were only annual averages. That's better, as the badness will recede. You could deduct the dog costs from Fitness, as you have to take him on walks 😉

Me too. My parents save a penny here and there buying cheap food, wear old clothes, but then don't shop around for their phone, gas and electricity. They made me grow up thinking budgeting was all…

Re: Income at the end of the month

Re: So I decided to change a few categories...
@Eric Poulin said: A lot of categories shows negative now, because I created them now and assign them older transaction. That's still useful info though, as it makes the averages.
