Checking account

Moving money 

The move money feature in You Need A Cash Plan is used to:

  • reallocate money from one ledger to another;
  • record the withdrawal of money from the checking account (from one ledger) by means other than writing a check.

This feature cannot be used to remove money from the Allowance ledger.

In the below example, you are recording your withdrawal of $10.00 from your checking account at an ATM. The money is coming from the Unallocated ledger.
