Confusion over Salary and Savings account usage

[maveri]

Hi Maf,

In my case, I am using gnucash in a learning mode before I start entering
everything into it and go full swing with it - until now I am not using any
system so I'm very green in terms of tracking things properly. I have on
occasions put major items into an excel spreadsheet for tax purposes but
this is for targeted items - so I'm more than open to real world suggestions
such as yours 

I think your approach is probably going to be more in-line with how I wish
to go, the transfers out of the salary would be spread over days normally,
so perhaps a split transaction would not be the best in terms of tracking
individual items. The only benefit I could see is if one wanted to see how
much of a particular salary was consumed in a given period? 

I also notice that to view a split transaction requires viewing via the auto
split ledger, I was hoping it would expand out through a simple double click
- having everything displayed on the one screen is more in-line with what I
want, so I will modify what I'm doing to follow your suggestion

Thanks all for your help to date
