Thanks for the post!!! You helped me understand how roll over works. But I don’t think this is a problem, not sure what they admitted to. I really like this feature as it is like how Patrix pointed out. Anyway thanks for the post and google :) now i know mint is not bugged, it’s just me over spending :).

Agree. But Mint never makes that clear and in fact, even admitted whatever was happening was a ‘problem’.

This feature is helpful once you know why its happening, i.e its rolling over the extra amount from previous month to next. This way if you want to stay true to your budget if you overspend the previous month then you should compensate for that in the current month. I’ve been using it this way.
