  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I'm looking at switching to Actual Budget from my current budget system of spreadsheets. In my budget I just have a single "amount" column where expenses are negative (money out) and income is positive (money in). I'm suggesting that there be a setting in Actual Budget to choose this as a view as opposed to separate "Payment" and "Deposit" columns
