Greetings,
I am using KMyMoney quite successful to track my actual expenses, but have a
hard time to figure out how you correctly use the budgeting feature, if I plan
to save a portion of my income in an extra savings account.
Suppose I've got one income category 'salary' and my monthly income is 100$.
That's easy to configure in the budget dialog. But when I want to save 20$ (by
transferring it to an extra savings account) I don't know how to do it.
The problem is that savings are no expense, so it does not make sense to have
a category for it, and similary I don't want to modify the income side of the
equation to reduce my budget by 20$.
I'd like two solutions to this problem: Manually specifying the budget size
(to adjust the income part) or allow accounts to be used as expenses, so that
I have an actual bugdet point for my savings.
How do you solve this in your use of kmymoney?
