Greeting,
I am seeking some help. I set up some annual goals in Good Budget. When i am budgeting monthly, i set forexample 1000 aside for the annual goal. Which puts my annual goal in green. What disturbs me is when i want to put money towards it in add transaction and i select the annual goal. Good Budget indicates i have spent money from the annual goal. The problem is i have allocated money not spent money out of my annual goal.
How should i go about it that my cash reduces and my annual goal increases by the injection not decrease or show spent.
There are a few ways to accomplish this. A “transaction” is assumed to be money spent unless shown otherwise.
If you have money Available that you would like to assign to the Annual envelope, you will need to do an Envelope Transfer from Available to the envelope in question. Doing a “Fill from Available” accomplishes the same thing, but lets you move money into and out of several envelopes at once.
If you’re receiving income that you want to put entirely in the envelope, you can either record it as a credit transaction (use a negative amount on the web, or a “credit” transaction in the app, which won’t show as income), or if it’s actual new income that you want to track or split into multiple envelopes, use a Fill from New Income item instead of just recording the deposit.
Would one of those work for your situation?
