It's quite simple. All money comes *from* somewhere, and goes *to* 
somewhere else. Conservation of finance! :-D

The part I can't figure out is how you do the accounts of a company, and 
they end up with more money than they started out with, even though it 
hasn't apparently "come" from anywhere... Accounting is weird!
