That seems reasonable to me.

I thought the other two rows at the bottom represented something like equity.

Thanks,
I think a reasonable approach to determine a budget's sign-reversal policy
will be:
- if budgeted expense amounts are mostly negative, conclude "reversal =
income/expense"
- otherwise, if budgeted liability amounts are mostly negative, conclude
"reversal = none"
- otherwise conclude "reversal = credit-accounts"

The next challenge is to try fix the Budget Editor Summary section at the
bottom. While the first 2 rows "Income" "Expense" are self-explanatory,
anyone has any idea the exact definition for "Transfers" and "Total" ?
