Periodic Transactions from last day of the month #2005
Description
Would be great to have a Periodic Transaction syntax to specify from the end of the month that is agnostic to the number of days in the month.
I'm thinking either (or both) of something semi-textual (last day, last-1 day, last -2 day) or is ordinal with a - preceding it (-1st day, -2nd day, -3rd day).
This would allow me to specify a periodic transaction that always occurs on the last day of the month (or near the end of the month), without having to have individual periodic transaction blocks for the specific last day of each month in the year when creating my budget.

Incidentally, I have so far noticed that
every 31st daywill move the forecasted transaction back to the 30th if there is no 31st day of the monthNot sure if this is documented or not. (If not, I hope it doesn't break!)

Good tip for the FAQ maybe!

@simonmichael Also, just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for this amazing tool, and the whole PTA ecosystem as well!
Just saving my poor programmer brain from having to muddle through spreadsheets is already a huge bonus!
