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.
Going over
Lumio shows the overrun rather than blocking anything. It is a record of your money, not a gate on it.
