Should numbers be green at the end of the month? So I'm two weeks into my trial, and I thought I knew what I was doing. But I just tried to budget my coming month, and I'm way in the red on my "to be budgeted." Now, I know I get paid twice a month, so I *will* have money to cover it, but I'm stumped.

Then, I looked back at February, and there are still categories that are green, for which I budgeted but didn't spend everything. For example, I budgeted $20 for kitty litter. I didn't buy litter until yesterday. So there's still a green 20 in Feb. Do I go back and zero out the amount budgeted in February so I can point it towards my March? How do I get myself out of the red when I have all this money I haven't spent?
