thank you for these insights! I will get some help following up on these tips. The “master” account was called “joint checking” and I no longer see it. I see all the categories, like “insurance,” “taxes,” “VISA,” etc. and all the expenses paid in each category back to 2014–same with income cate

Dear All: I have been keeping my checkbook register on a Mac Powerbook computer via GnuCash since at least 2014. I recently migrated to a new-to-me Mac and when I open my GnuCash files, I no longer seem to have the top level account (master) file to my checkbook register! All of the income/expe
