ynab: if I lay out money for someone regularly, how should I indicate that? categorize the transaction properly, and then when I get reimbursed, set it as inflow and allot it to that category? Example: shop for someone's groceries, have the amount come out of my grocery category, get reimbursed, allot that amount extra to groceries?

do you get reimbursed promptly or do you maybe need to track many weeks later and check if you were reimbursed

Cool! I've been wondering how to do this. I think the article breaks down the steps pretty well, ynab just makes it a bit complicated

Wow, interesting. The second option isn't super clear, but it could be I'm reading too late at night
The first one makes alot of sense, I'm going to go with that for now
