Allow roll over negative balances
I know it breaks "YNAB" style budgeting rules as Im essentially budgeting money I don't have yet , but is there a way to allow a negative balance to roll over? I often have to buy things for work that get reimbursed later, so I let that specific bucket sit negative for a week or two until I get the reimbursement. That works fine until the payment and reimbursement fall in different calendar months. Then the amount is pulled out of the "To be budgeted for month" field. I can work around it for now by budgeting -XXX USD at the start of the month, but that throws the "Budgeted for month" field off.
That or have a way leave to a bucket out of the budget completely, as this account has truly no affect on the budget.
I will look into maybe adding a option to do this. with the warnings that you may not have the funds to cover this bucket.
I just wanted to add that this is important on my end - I used that feature of YNAB to deal with overspending over future months when officially I don't have the capacity to at the current point in time. I might look into doing a hack myself for the time being, but this probably needs further thought on how to handle user settings for whether a bucket can be negative or not.
