meaningful monthly time periods

Hi:

I wonder if there is a way within money to change your time periods to
reflect meaningful dates. For me, a month never starts at the beginning of
the month. It all depends on my pay-cycle. For example, the month of January
does not start officially until Jan 13th, and ends Feb 10th. Is there a way
to tell this to Money, so that my cash flow/spending and budgeting numbers
are real for me?

Tx,

Nope. But I don't really understand your issue. No matter where you start
and end a month, it's still a month. All you'd be changing is where the
curve centers.

My issue is tracking spending, in-flows and outflows for a given period. In
the past, I've tracked this stuff in Excel, and put in all my expenses for
the period. Money does this strictly by month, which doesn't help me because
my checks come in during different periods, and such my 'month' changes from
month to month. I'd love it if I could tell Money to do Jan month, from
Jan13th to Feb 10th, etc.., but I guess i can't...

Nope. It gets asked for a lot, but usually by people that want, say,
15th-15th. Your case is even less likely to get satisfied since they haven't
seen fit to satisfy the simpler one in the decade or so people have been
asking for it.
