--- Comment #1 from Thomas Baumgart <tbaumgart at kde.org> ---
Thank you for your statement about our work. This is what keeps us motivated.

Well, in fact the balance of your credit card account in your example is
decreasing. It goes from -599.30 to -619.30 which is mathematically less. The
confusing thing here is, that your credit on the credit card account is shown
as negative value but the math is correct. Also, the value is shown in the
column 'Payment' which is a payment towards the card as opposed to 'Charges'
where your expenses will show up.

Liability accounts are shown with reverse sign to better match the statements
sent out by financial institutions. You could also take a look at reports which
will show your funds on the credit card account as negative liabilities (which
are in fact assets).  Hope that helps to understand what's going on.
