There are circumstances in which budgeting asset accounts makes
sense. For eample suppose you hold a note for $50,000. You expect
to receive payments of principal of $15,000 this year. This is
not income but is an asset conversion. It won't show up in a pure
income expense budget yet you have $15,000 that can be used for
expenses or for capital expenditures, etc.
