Need some help  I just bought the BBP digital workbook & watched the tutorials on the BBP central website but I am confused on a few steps. The overall workbook in theory should account for all of the funds I have both in my checking accounts, savings accounts, and cash correct? So because I’m just starting I’m trying to figure out where I account for my current starting balances. I did what was suggested and used one expense tracker for my checking account & another expense tracker for cash spending which comes from my cash envelopes. A few questions: 1) I’m not sure where I need to specify what my beginning current balance in savings is. I have a current amount in a savings account & decided this is where I will be depositing my sinking funds into. Anyways I don’t know where in the workbook to specify what my current amount in savings is before any deposits I will make into it this month. 2) After I begin this journey & start depositing money into my sinking funds. Would I show it as a withdrawal from my expense tracker? And would I show a deposit somewhere else? 3) Do I show the money I will be using to stuff my cash envelopes as a withdrawal from my checking expense tracker and then use that amount as my starting balance for my cash expense tracker? Keep in mind right now I don’t have any rollover amounts from previous months as I’m just starting this journey this month. Hope it wasn’t too confusing!
