We get it, plans may change! Your life is flexible, and your budget should be able to keep up. As you learn your weekly spending habits, you might realize that you require more money in certain accounts and less in others. Learning the perfect configuration for your budget can take some time; frequent adjusting is expected. Use these first few weeks to discover where you can save extra money to help you reach your One Goal.

We find that when you leave your budget unattended for longer than a week, then your list of transactions and bills can seem more daunting. Weekly budgeting will help you more accurately understand your day-to-day expenses. We believe that cutting your large monthly budget down into weekly, comprehendible categories can help you manage what you spend closer to a daily basis. Overall, this helps you manage your money a little easier.
Weekly budgeting keeps you on track towards your One Goal, giving you more flexibility to move money to different budget categories and ultimately holds you accountable to stick to your One Goal.
You can also edit a category by tapping on the category in the spending view (where you drag and drop transactions). However, we recommend doing edits on the plan page, so that you can see how the changes affect your overall spending plan.
So here's what you do when categories go negative - no sweat, just follow the prompt to pull the funds from another category. If you find yourself exploding your categories often, you may want to adjust your spending plan.
No sweat!
