Thanks for the feedback, we've added sub-totals to to-do list. As far as the maintenance category, you have this setup as an auto carryover budget so it's taking the available amount from the previous month and adding it to your budget. We'll add in an indicator so you know which items have auto carryover turned on.

Re:envelope budget
thanks for the great work. The page does appear to load faster. Here is another weird behavior of the envelope budget page. I didn't budget for auto maintenance in January, but spent $44.00 in that category. As a result I'm left with -$44. When I move to February, I see that -$44 in the BUDGET AMOUNT category for AUTO maintenance. It appears that the TOTAL AVAILABLE from the previous month is added to the BUDGET AMOUNT of the following month when in fact it should remain in the TOTAL AVAILABLE column. THE BUDGET AMOUNT should not change unless you change it during budget setup. Also, is it possible to show the sub-total for a category?

Re:envelope budget
We've implemented most of these changes. As far as the negative sign, the amounts should appear green for positive. Please let us know if you are not seeing the color as differences.

Re:envelope budget
We've made some performance updates that have decreased the load time of the My Budget page for users with several categories. Please let us know if you see any issues.

Re:envelope budget
Thank you for the feeback. We've added these to our todo list. As far as carry over, we are updating this to work as soon as the entry is created. Currently items are only carried over on the first of each month by overriding the budget amounts. This should be implemented in mid to late February. As far as speed, part of the problem is that running on a secure server takes longer due to the fact that all data needs to get encrypted. We are however working on the back end to speed things up. This month we're mainly focusing on the My Budget page. If you see other pages that are always slow to load, please let us know and we can look into it.

Re:envelope budget
can the MONTHLY budget column be changed to just BUDGET AMOUNT due to fact some items are budgetted on a weekly basis? Also, can the MONTHLY budget colunm have a total?

Re:envelope budget
My first impressions. This beta envelope page is EXCELLENT. I like the way the page adjusts for those months that carry three pay checks. Good job!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! ! my feedback: can the REMAINING INCOME status row at the bottom of the page be moved to the top? it makes it easier to see the numbers change as allocation amounts are entered. ! can the categories be collapsed/expanded? ! the REMAINING column is confusing because it basically pulls the number that is located in the "monthly budget" column. . can it be removed? or better yet, state the ramaining amount from the previous month? ! can the TOTAL AVAILABLE amount be placed in a bracket if its a negative amount or at least have a minus sign? ! If for january I had a balance in a category, I don't see that amount carried over to february. That amount can be placed in the REMAINING column. ! This is a great site, but why is it so slow? ! on the RECORD TRANSACTIONS page, can a "cancel" button be added?

Re:envelope budget
We've launched a beta page of Envelope Budgeting. We plan on adding more features onto the page but wanted to get some feedback first. From the top of the My Budget page, you'll now see a dropdown called Budget Style that will allow you to switch to Envelope Budgeting.

Re:envelope budget
Thank you and thanks for emailing the screen shot. We will be implementing this most likely in our February release schedule. This will probably a seperate page as an alternative budget solution but will tie in other features on the site such as Income ties, Categories, and Transactions entered. We'll post a reply this thread with the progress status of the new page.

Re:envelope budget
Neobudget, an online budgeting solution that does envelope budgeting would give you a better idea of what I'm referring to. I like this Budget Tracker because it has more features. If Budget Tracker incorporate envelope budgeting, that would be excellent.
