Just Started, New Budget Shows Already Huge Negative Spend For Year

A1MB1G

I just started using Quicken and created by first budget. I've noticed that Quicken is reporting that I've already spent thousands and that I'm negative for the year even though I haven't yet started entering budget amounts. I suspect this has to do with the starting balance of my Line of Credit which I recently used for renovations.

How can I get Quicken to start the budget process from this point forward? I don't want the opening balances to impact the budget? Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

I suggest you set the prior month's budget amounts to the prior month's actuals.
