(hobie here.) Thanks for your note. :) What you're not seeing is that there was a considerable shortfall in December. It was almost end of January before that was caught up, with January's goal yet to be met. We went ahead and placed the February widget at that point - so what looks like a February surplus of $1700 is actually a shortfall, still, of about $1300 for the period Dec/Jan/Feb.

For many, I suspect, 2016 began with some unpleasant and perhaps surprising events, Raye and myself included. She didn't lose the money but had totally unexpected expenses that had to be dealt with. Presently she needs $600; if the shortfall for Dec/Jan/Feb were covered, that would have taken care of it already and I wouldn't be writing these notes.

Blessings.
