Categories

Categories are where you assign your money. Think of them as digital envelopes.

Create a category

  1. Go to the Budget page
  2. Click Add Category at the bottom of a group
  3. Enter a name
  4. Optionally set a monthly target

Category groups

Categories are organized into groups:

  • Bills & Fixed Expenses: Rent, utilities, subscriptions
  • Everyday Expenses: Groceries, transportation, personal care
  • Quality of Life: Entertainment, dining out, hobbies
  • Goals: Emergency fund, vacation, major purchases

Set targets

Targets help you plan your spending:

  • Monthly target: Budget the same amount each month
  • By date target: Save toward a goal by a specific date
  • Weekly target: Budget a set amount each week

  1. Click on the category you want to take from
  2. Click Move Money
  3. Select the destination category
  4. Enter the amount

Tips

  • Start simple. Fewer categories is better. Add more as needed.
  • Be realistic. Budget based on actual spending, not wishes.
  • Review regularly. Adjust as your life changes.
