HELP--Budget entries I didn't make showing up in next month's budget
I just went to September to start budgeting and found two entries that have already been budgeted for the month. I did not do these and my current month's numbers do not show any carry over that would account for this.
For example, say I budgeted $500 for an August mortgage payment, paid the $500 in August, and the budget category in August shows a $0 balance in the "available" column. When I click over to September, however, that category shows $500 in the green "available" column and shows the same budgeted amount in the "budgeted" category. Is this a glitch? I am afraid to trust the surplus when I didn't put it there. I have two categories doing this.
I've been using YNAB for years and I update everything at least once a week, so I really don't think this is my error, but I'm open to any suggestions!

Accidents happen. The money is real as long as no red is showing and your account balances agree with the real world.

Hi Slate Blue Storm ! Have you been exploring budgeting in a future month by chance?
You can give these steps a try, to compare the cash in your budget to the cash in your accounts. If your totals match, you're good to go! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
