[GNC] Budget car payment

[Adrien Monteleone]

Signs in Budgets need more testing. (I had plans to do so long ago, 
perhaps I might get to it now as I'm way behind in my own budgeting!)

You might have to play around a bit to see if it is possible to come up 
with a sane entry method that produces a sane bottom line result. Or you 
may have discovered a bug that needs fixing.

I'll endeavor to work on my budget this week and see if I can duplicate 
your issue.


----
And no, I don't think the Budget Module docs have been updated in many 
moons and suns.

Regards,
Adrien
