[new bucket type] 'replenish' or 'always have x amount' type?

[jeroenbrussich]

I would like to request a new bucket-type: the _replenish _ or 'always have x amount' type.

I would like to start each month with (let's say) € 300 in the medical-bucket.
If I spend nothing on medical this month, yay! Nothing to do next month.

But if I have had to pay a medical bill (or go to the drugstore), I want to replenish my 'medical bucket' to € 300.
Right now, I have to do this manually for each replenish-bucket I have.
Could this be automated in a new bucket-type?

Is this the same as #345?

[jeroenbrussich]

yes, exactly what I tried to say :)

I did a quick search but did not find that one. Sorry..
You can merge the issues..

Hi Jeroen,
I noticed that I can simulate this with the save x with y a month bucket. For example: save 10 euros with 10 euros per month. I spent 1 euro this month. When I go to next month it proposes to add 1 euro.
So in your case you could try to make the bucket: save 300 euros by depositing 300 euros per month. then it will always propose the amount of money you are lacking to reach 300 euros. And it will detect nothing needs to be added if your bucket is full.

Could you give me a screenshot of what bucket to choose, @StephanieLemoine ?
Because - new as I am to buckets - I can't seem to find/simulate what you propose...

this one :) @jeroenbrussich

[jeroenbrussich]

thank you, @StephanieLemoine !
Will try this hack awaiting the new bucket type :)

This might not even need a new bucket type, but just explain how to do this in the guide, basically re-using Stephanie's comment. And yes, this one should probably be closed as a duplicate of #345.

This hack does work but this bucket won't be included in the report since it is not a recurring expense. For example, I want my grocery bucket to be topped to $400 a month AND be included in the report. Can we please have both?

Adding a vote to having this included in the report. That would be awesome.
