This envelope budgeting thing looks interesting.  However being a big
online bank fan (where I download all my transactions instead of doing
it manually), how does that play into envelope budgeting?

Usually I go to my checking account, download my transactions and
place them in the appropriate categories.  Is that still possible
here?  The sub-accounts seemed to have me a little confused.

Thanks,
Don
