Re: Not quite conceptualizing the benefit of the new goals Thanks, @dakinemaui This is very interesting. I might try budgeting without goals at all. Might be a whole lot easier, more consistent with Rule 3, and as you say, less nagging.

Why approve a scheduled transaction?
What is the purpose of approving a scheduled transaction if it has not yet imported from the bank? If I mark it approved, I have no way of seeing which transactions have not yet imported.

Re: Fresh Start, but no starting balance? It seems there is a change since @Faness responded below. First you have to Unlink each account. Then you link it and today's balance will immediately import.
