Those dollars that still need jobs? You can budget them in next month to get ahead. No time machine needed!

Future Budgeting & To be Budgeted
Once you budget into the future, your most up-to-date To be Budgeted number is in that future month.
If you budget $1000 in next month, then return to the current month and budget another $25 to groceries, that $25 will come out of “Budgeted in Future”, not your current month’s To be Budgeted (which will still say $0.00). Move money between categories instead! And if you're overbudgeted in the future, adjust until To be Budgeted is zero again.
