@nolesrule Oh boy, I'll have to see if I even have that key anymore - thank you though!

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule sometimes, but very rarely. It's usually the result of bills being billed twice in the same month, or food needing to be bought before the month rolls over.…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule I've tried. They just ignore me now. I'm actively looking for an alternative - but so far YNAB is the least worst option available to me. I have contemplated seeing if I kept my desktop…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule The over spent indicator is always Zero when a month rolls over - always. So this is no help. As I pointed out in another comment on this thread,…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule But the replacement is arguably worse than the red arrows. Once can blissfully go about the next month and budget away. If you are more than a month ahead by more than what was over spent,…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule Ah ok. I see what you are saying, but again, I'm bringing these issues up because they should be automated, and not something users have to track manually.

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule Then why are negative balances allowed to simply sit in the previous month without any notification? This also violates the rules. You should, at the very least, be notified,…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@dakinemaui There is another thing I've noticed, those numbers don't appear to work correctly. For instance, right now I'm waiting for a refund, so one budget item is negative.…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@dakinemaui My bigger concern, though the inconvenience of manually performing what should be automatic is a concern, is that currently YNAB allows for negative balances to persist in a month,…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@dakinemaui Well that is what I said I do. Every month now I have to go through and change the date on a handful of item - when I shouldn't have to do this.…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule And again, to your own point, if you can't spend more than is in the envelope, why does YNAB allow this? Right now it's the worst possible behavior.…

Re: YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
@nolesrule It does not reflect reality. The reality is if we are following YNAB rules we are at least one month ahead. There isn't $50 in that envelope, there is $100,…

YNAB doesn't carry forward negative balances and this screws up everything
I've been using YNAB since their version 4 Desktop App days, and quite frankly the Desktop App is still my favorite. I have an almost constant problem with the web app version because it will not…
