Ability to group sub-categories into budgets.
I would I could organize different sub-categories into one budget. i.e. A budget for "Groceries" but also lump "Restaurants & Fast Food" into a separate budget
I’m hopeful.

This would be a fantastic addition. Although we have the ability to create a number of specific budgets, it would be great if we could stick these under categories. Thus, instead of having 30 different budgets to scroll through, we could have, say, ten general categories that can be expanded/collapsed to show smaller, more specific budgets. Example below from another budgeting program I use:

Inappropriate?How funny. I just came to Mint's FB page to see if there was a way to do that, and this was at the top of their wall. :)
YES. I want this. I have all my expenditures that aren't bills just lumped under "Spending money" and I'd much rather break it down even more to see what I'm spending on food/entertainment/etc. yet stay in the one single budget limit I'm giving myself for Spending Money. -
Inappropriate?Hi Marcus,
Thanks for sharing your idea! I'll share with the team so they can take it under consideration.
Best,

Inappropriate?I need the ability to group multiple categories into a single shared budget, so I can see all "discretionary spending" or all "restaurants and entertainment" at once.
-
Inappropriate?Yes, perfect. I want to able to group sub-items together too. For instance, right now "Alcohol and Bars" is under "Food and Dining". Under the super-group "Food and Dining" I would like to have the sub-groups: "Alcohol and Bars", "Restaurants/Take-out/Fast-food", and "Groceries". Or more simply "Food I prepared", "Food someone else prepared", and "Food that I can drink".

Inappropriate?+1
I would much rather have a budget for Restaurants + Coffee, and a separate one for Groceries, rather than having to maintain a single one for just "Food"

agreed. -
Inappropriate?This is my main gripe about Mint. I want to bundle certain budget categories under one budget/pool of money.
-
Inappropriate?I combined Restaurants and Fast Food into the same budget by setting up a Transaction Rule. i.e., I made a rule for McDonalds to be charged to Restaurants instead of FFood. Worked well for me.
I’m happy

yes, that works, but it's not what we're talking about here.
-
Inappropriate?This feature would be the key feature for me. I could create my own super budget that could automatically include all categories I set.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Are you aware that you can budget at the parent category level. For example I budget all of my parent categories. The draw back is I cannot budget at the child level then it is one or the other. In my case this is really not a problem.1 Comment Add a comment

I think most are aware of the ability to budget at the top-level but the drawback comes when you want to create budgets for Starbucks, Groceries and Fast Food & Restaurants. The request is for the ability to group lower-level categories into budgets without having the "all or individual" as it is now.

Inappropriate?This is exactly what I could use! Even if I could assign multiple categories to one budget I think I could make it work.
