Subcategory

For example, we can name one of the envelope “Costco Credit Card” and in the envelope theirs subenvelope for whatever expenses.

Completely agree. In my physical cash envelope I have just Pet but I keep a post it for Food, daycare and grooming. All in the pet envelope.

Hi Meng,
Thanks for this suggestion - we have subcategories on our list and are considering adding this to our app in the future. Would it just be one particular category that you'd want to see subcategories in? Or would you want this feature available in all categories (variable, fixed, savings).
Thanks,
Sasha

All categories would be great!

Sasha I would also love sub categories for saving envelopes for example I’m saving up for my wedding but I have sub categories under wedding like hair & makeup, venue, photographer etc
Taylor Wiens
Sasha I would like subcategories to be able to keep track of how much of the whole category is cash and how much is in my bank account. Right now they’re all combined and I cannot tell how much is in my bank account in the app

Taylor oh interesting! Ok! Something to think about. We've got something in mind for a future release that may capture what you're looking for. Thanks for your feedback! :D

Catherine Tjeerdsma I love this idea in particular. I have a wedding savings envelope too and I never even thought about splitting it up like that but love that idea because since I have some things that are higher up on my list for how important it is that I have them at my wedding with that feature I could allocate my savings to those things first to make sure I have enough for them!

Taylor Wiens I’ve wanted to be able to keep track of where my money is since I have multiple different accounts too. Except the way I recommended it to them was to have an “accounts” tab, that is kind of separate from the envelopes where you can add and name all your “accounts” so that you can see how much of your total money is in each account. So like essentially, when you logged income, you would do it just like they have it set up now but then after entering in the income amount you would select which “account” that money is going to, that way they can track how much you have in each account. Then when you log an expense and tell them which envelope to put that expense in, underneath that there would be another selection option where you also tell it which “account” to deduct that amount from.
