No zero-sum budget? #94

Closed danobot closed 5 years ago

danobot commented 5 years ago

I'm surprised that you (coming from YNAB) have cloned this application and not implemented a zero based budgeting mechansim.

Any plans or reasoning why regular categories are supported?

simhnna commented 5 years ago

If I cloned anything it would be firefly-III and not YNAB. I personally don't need the budgeting features of YNAB. I'm not opposed to adding it, but I didn't put any thought into how I would implement this. If you have ideas I'm open to suggestions.

Regular categories are supported because I want to be able to generate reports based on them.

Fair enough, even a simple report that calculates category budgeted vs income would be a zero-sum helper. This would have to be shown on the categories page at the top.

sorry for such a late response. Work got to me.. :D

If you visit the budgets page you should see an overview over the budgets you have and how much you spent/ have available. https://demo.silverstrike.org/budgets/
