Informational labels are inconsistent and the 
Accounting labels are reversed from how I wish.

I don't debit my change jar when I drop some dimes in.
I don't credit my wallet when I spend cash.  
I may give my wallet credit for holding the cash, but that's all the credit 
it gets.

I am not an accountant, I do not want to be an accountant, I just want to see 
where my money goes.  

Is it that wrong to want to see it how I like it?
