[GNC] Need help with a Savings account

[Dale Alspach]

A simple rule for getting the debit and credit correct is

money flows from credit to debit.

So if you want to remove $10 from the savings account that will be a
credit of $10 to savings and debit of $10 to some other account(s) such
as Expense.
