ADVICE

Keep A Small 'Frequent' Group

  • Put your most-used spending categories into a small 'frequent' group for quick access and monitoring.
  • Keep that group tight so you can view balances and spend multiple times per week easily.
ADVICE

Create A Dedicated Pet Group

  • Give pets their own group and categories (food, grooming, medical, fun) to capture all recurring and one-off pet costs.
  • Separate pet medical from household medical to avoid confusion when searching categories.
ADVICE

Fund True Non-Monthly Expenses Separately

  • Put unpredictable non-monthly expenses (durables, family fun, furniture) into a 'true expenses' group to save for them separately.
  • Distinguish durables from furniture so you can prioritize replacement frequency and scale of purchases.
