Budgeting every dollar sucks. It's also impossible. Your essentials are forecastable, your lifestyle spending isn't, so in v3 we split them apart.
Budgeting v3, essentials and lifestyle living apart
Your categories now sit inside Category Groups. Two ship by default (Household Essentials and Lifestyle Spending), and you decide where each category lands. Streaming subscription? Your call. Gym? Your call. Rename the groups, add more, build the shape that matches your household.
Essentials and Lifestyle in the new budget view
The bigger shift: you can now manage Lifestyle Spending at the group level. Set one cap (say, $1,500 a month) and you've capped the total across eating out, takeaways, coffees, kids' activities, subscriptions, the lot. Stop arguing with yourself about whether lunch was $80 or $140 this week. Watch the group total instead.
The cap is optional. Plenty of households will keep using category-level targets, or just watch the reporting without setting caps at all. The split works either way.
Your existing categories have been migrated automatically. Open SortMe, take ten minutes to confirm each one sits in the right group, set a Lifestyle cap if you want one, and check the new reports view.
