Reread my post. I had no objections to the food, rent or income entries. My
objection was to changing asset and liability accounts directly with no
indication of whether this was done by moving assets and liabilities
around or allocating
income/expenses. It seems to me that there is a big difference between budgeting
only income and expenses which tells you whether you have new money to save,
invest, etc., or will need to tap savings or other assets to make ends meet, and
saying somehow this asset or liability is changing by this much.
