I'm interested but I have more questions than answers.

It might make sense to provide some system for figuring out how to create the budget, and then how to track your expenses against it.

In my mind the simplest form of budgeting is so-called "Envelope Accounting", where you have physical envelopes full of money where you pull money out when you spend it.

There are electronic envelope accounting systems which retain the simplicity.

I'm a bit unsure of how this system works, where it differs, etc.

In summary, I'd love to see:

1. An explanation of how to construct a budget using your system.

2. An explanation of how to compare your spending to your budget? (bonus points if I can use my existing plain text accounting system, or at least a csv file)

3. An explanation of how to track my budget over time.

The processor considers monthly income when calculating your projections. It'll sum all credit and debit operations (from all flows) and calculate from there.

I've done that, it helped me a lot!
