I may try this when I have time to set it up. I do something similar but different. I make future payments for the date of when the bill is due for the item I am paying. When I actually pay it I change the date to the date I actually pay it (which is usually when I receive the bill vs when it is due). Anything that I have as just money set aside for the potential to spend in that area (my spending money allowance for example) I set the date way in the future and just subtract from it as I spend it until it's gone. I use the after everything is accounted for amount as my what's in my account amount. Interesting. I may try this when I have time to set it up. I do something similar but different.
