I'm having trouble getting my income to show as income in the budget screen....i have transactions either transferring money in or recording a paycheck, but it shows a positive value in the "activity" column....but no "assigned value" . if i put a positive number in the assigned value, it shows double the correct value.
the result is a need to show a negative value in the assigned column....but is this what everyone does every paycheck? seems weird to me.
your budget categories are for how you plan on spending your money, so your income doesn’t need a category in your budget.
when you get paid, you need to ask yourself “what do i need this money to do for me until i get paid next?” and assign your money to those categories.
when you are putting in your income into your accounts you can put your payee as your job or simply “income” and category should be “inflow: ready to assign” which will automatically put ur money at the top of your budget. doing this will also track it for the income and expense report.
