 #### Budgeting vs forecasting

+`--forecast` and `--budget` both use the periodic transaction rules in the journal to generate temporary transactions for reporting purposes.
 However they are separate features - though you can use both at the same time if you want.
 Here are some differences between them:
 
-1. `--budget` is a command-specific option; it selects the **budget report**.
-
-   `--forecast` is a general option; **forecasting works with all reports**.
-
-2. `--budget` uses **all periodic rules**; `--budget=DESCPAT` uses **just the rules matched** by DESCPAT.
-
-   `--forecast` uses **all periodic rules**.
-
-3. `--budget`'s budget goal transactions are invisible, except that they produce **goal amounts**.
-
-   `--forecast`'s forecast transactions are visible, and **appear in reports**.
-
-4. `--budget` generates budget goal transactions **throughout the report period**,
-   optionally restricted by periods specified in the periodic transaction rules.
-
-   `--forecast` generates forecast transactions
-   from **after the last regular transaction**, to the end of the report period;
-   while `--forecast=PERIODEXPR` generates them **throughout the specified period**;
-   both optionally restricted by periods specified in the periodic transaction rules.
