How do I handle credit cards in PearBudget?

When you charge something to your credit card, should you log that in PearBudget now? Or when you pay your card balance?

We strongly strongly recommend that you add the receipt to PearBudget now. If you’ve spent the money already, you should log that in PearBudget so you don’t think you have more remaining than you actually do!

Some people like to add a tag to the receipts they used a credit card for, so they can then, at the end of the month, compare their credit card statement with PearBudget and make sure that the two are the same.
