I'm not Derek, but I don't use the budgeting feature either. I do track
my finances, and for some early expenses (see below).

I do use subsccounts, and do allocate portions of my weekly paycheck,
for exactly those reasons. In fact, my annual real estate bill comes due
after the beginning of the year, so I'll be paying it in 3 weeks, from
the subaccount I set up for it.
