Planning ahead

Budgets

Giving individual categories a limit inside the monthly plan.

How they relate to the plan

The monthly plan sets one overall spending boundary. A category budget divides part of that up — a limit for eating out, or transport — so you can see where a month is drifting rather than only that it is.
