What is a negative LEGACY expense, and how do I remove it?
Where to find it: EXPENSES → Adjust negative expenses
A negative LEGACY expense can be created when the legacy calculation calls for lower spending. TIME MACHINE treats a negative expense as non-taxable income; it does not automatically reduce your other expense entries.
In EXPENSES, select Adjust negative expenses. Set the % Discretionary of each positive expense, then use Suggest reductions or enter your proposed amounts. Essential portions are protected.
Select Review changes and check the remaining gaps. Saving updates the positive expenses and deletes the negative expense entries.
You can save an incomplete adjustment only after confirming the warning. All negative entries are then deleted, including amounts not covered by your cuts, so the resulting cash flow or legacy can be lower.
