Re: "TO BE BUDGETED" AMOUNT
@bevocat Absolutely! It was never my intention. Turns out, I just didn't understand the system either!

Re: "TO BE BUDGETED" AMOUNT
@bevocat If you legitimately want my opinion on that, its because that's been a non issue for me. I use YNAB because its the best budgeting app I can find that works perfectly for how I budget.…

Re: Budget out a year?
@jenmas Right, I believe you. But you can also check them before the month begins. I don't just set my budgets all in January and then not look again until next year...

Re: "TO BE BUDGETED" AMOUNT
@bevocat if you budget an extra $100 to groceries in the current month, then the $282.87 would become $182.87 for the future month, which would be reflecting reality.

Re: Budget out a year?
@bevocat Yeah but if you try to reallocate that money to something in January then it will just pull back from what it would have spent in February, which it wasn't intended for February anyways.

Re: "TO BE BUDGETED" AMOUNT
@Slate Gray Cheetah (20c533f81091) Just want to clarify its the To Be Budgeted section at the top that might be Red, not individual budget categories.

Re: Budget out a year?
@WordTenor Oh, I meant the To Be Budgeted for that month will be red, NOT the individual budget categories. Those should never be red! Agreed! Sorry if I was unclear!
