Miscellaneous Bucket?
Daniel
didn't account for in my other buckets (one off expenses that I didn't
anticipate), or should I handle those another way?
Thanks.

You've got to put those transactions somewhere if they don't fit into
your planned buckets. Keeping track of all the misc. stuff is just as
important so you can see how much unplanned stuff happens.
I'd call it the "Darn It" bucket.

Dan,
You can but just make sure that you only use this for the truly odd-
ball transactions. If it grows too large, you'll want to break out
those transactions into stricter buckets.

that you can merge buckets by option+dragging them. This came in
useful a few times when I had a bunch of odd ball buckets that I
decided weren't really relevant a few months later and I was able to
merge them into a more generic bucket without breaking anything.
