Add Setting to STOP the Monthly Budget Amount from automatically changing to Actual Amount at EOM
I'm astonished at how Budgets in Q for Mac are now operating: that at the end of each month the Budget Amount gets automatically removed forever and changed into the Actual Amount spent/earned in that category.
I want to be able to look back at the prior months of the year and see how my Actual Monthly Income & Expenses measured up against my Planned Budget for that category in those prior months. Was I successful in meeting my budget or not? I don't want that information to disappear and get wiped out in an irretrievable fashion!
There must be a LOT of people that want to have the Budget Amount remain FIXED, like I'm describing! Am I right?
In fact, I can't see any reason at all why I would want the Monthly Budget Amount to change once the month is past. (There must be some reason someone thinks it's a good idea …. because that's the way Budgets has been programmed to operate.) But please don't explain this "reason" to me, because I'm not interested in having it operate that way at all: I think that method sucks. If it is such a vital need for some people to have the Budget Amount wiped out, then allow us to have a CHOICE as to which method we would like to have for ourselves by making this behavior controllable by a SETTING (or maybe a TOOGLE switch).
A BUDGET AMOUNT that disappears on you is …… well, ridiculous. Sorry to have to be so blunt!
Right now, your entire Budget Section is worthless to me!
How long is it going to take to fix this basic fundamental problem in Budgets!?! Please give me a timeframe on this. (It can't be that hard to fix.)
