Looking to track cash transactions? Budgeters may consider having a budget line item called "Cash Out" (or whatever works best) with a planned amount being taken out of the bank in cash. If being paid in cash, one would still include that in the "Income" group and put in the "Planned" amount for the "Cash Out" line item.
💡 Pro Tip: If withdrawing cash from an ATM, the imported transaction (from the bank) is handled like a transfer and can deleted.
Once cash is in hand, we teach budgeters to use the Envelope System to help with cash spending. Maybe you want to use the cash for groceries, you may consider including a transaction in EveryDollar for the "Cash Out" meaning you are pulling some grocery money out in cash and tracking it using the Envelope System now.
Similarly, if you are spending money using cash and want to track it in EveryDollar, you will need to manually track those expense transactions.
