So if you have $42.36 in your outflows for the previous month, budget $42.36 in the same category. If there was no spending in a category that month, leave the budgeted number at 0. </p> <p>If you have money in that category from previous months, you can do a few things. Go back to the previous months and set the budgeted columns to 0. You can also try to budget a negative number, but I'm not sure if that will work. </p> <p>You say you don't want to start fresh, so I'm not sure if you are wanting the keep just your outflows from that past 6 months (record of purchases), or if you want to keep your budgeting amounts also. What I do is use the comment/note feature in the category heading to note how much I "should" put into each category each month. </p> <p>I don't have my software on my work computer, but I can walk through it later when I get home if you don't get any more responses. </p> <p>Let me know if that doesn't make sense.</p> <p>PS The YNAB forums have a lot of info too. I don't use them much, but if you ever have complicated questions, they can help you out too! <a href="http://forum.youneedabudget.com/" rel="nofollow">http://forum.youneedabudget.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ynab-users-help#post-1644252 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:16:09 +0000 ktdid23 1644252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been using YNAB for the last 6 months but have a new car payment and want to basically start over so that the lines showing a surplus and the lines showing an overage basically all go back to even. Is there a way to do that without doing a "fresh start"? I don't want to lose the info I have, but I do want everything to be at 0 for June 1.... help? </p>
