I switched the setting from “envelope budgeting” to “tracking budgeting” to address this. Budgeting based off what I anticipate making the following month. The Actual peeps will tell you that in envelope budgeting you should have enough money for the next month ahead of time so it’s working as designed. I get that, kinda, but tracking budgeting has just made more sense for me.

Self hosting our budget with Actual has been a game changer for my partner and I. No other budget app really worked for us but this was super easy and the PWAs really make a difference.
