Payment status (Pending / Paid) for future entries.

Right now, when I enter an expense with a future date, the app deducts the amount from my current balance. This causes my balance to go into the red, which isn't accurate.

Practical example:

* Today is the 1st, and I have R$ 200 in my account.

* I enter my rent, which is due on the 10th, in the amount of R$ 1,500.

* Result in the app today: My balance is -R$ 1,300.

The problem is that my paycheck doesn’t come in until the 5th (and I can only enter it in the app once it actually hits my account, due to deductions and overtime). So, from the 1st to the 5th, the app shows that I’m in the red, even though I actually still have the R$ 200 to use for day-to-day expenses.

Also, future expenses are just estimates. I can delay a bill, negotiate, or even cancel an expense before the due date.

What needs to be adjusted

* Future bills should not affect the current balance until they are confirmed.

* Create a status for future entries (e.g., Pending) and an option for the user to “Mark as Paid” only on the day the payment is actually made.
