Create a budget

Create a main budget, set category amounts, and compare the plan with your categorized transactions to catch overspending early.

Start with the main budget and a short list of categories that match real decisions, such as housing, groceries, transport, subscriptions, debt, and savings.Review the plan after a full month. Change a limit when it is consistently unrealistic, not every time one purchase makes the month unusual.
