Request: Change start of month

[revenz]

Could you add the ability to set when a month starts. I get paid monthly on the 15th, this is when I do my budget (currently with everypocket, use to use YNAB). I pretty much give up on this past the end of the month then the 15th rolls around I clear my history and start afresh each month.

If I could set when a month started, I wouldn't need to clear stuff and eg if I put in a transaction for the 10th it would be counted against the budget from the 15th of last month and not the budget for this month.

I personally prefer monthly, but I had a thought to add onto this idea:

Instead of offering the ability to change the month start date, what if instead of showing your budget "monthly" it is shown by a user-set reporting period. Some might prefer weekly, some might prefer semi monthly, quarterly, etc. One could set 1) a standard period of time to use as a reporting period and then 2) the start date of that reporting period

I don't know if this makes it easier or harder to implement, but I think it would fulfill @revenz 's feature request as well as offer other users even more flexibility.
