I’d like to be able to go into the upcoming month and start revising my budget. At the moment my pay cycle is how I have my budget set. But as I come to the end of the month I like to start planning what I’m going to be using my money for (e.g. I pay for certain kids activities 3 times a year, or a big payment for a holiday is coming due) and it’s annoying to have to wait until the day my pay comes in to start setting the budget in Emma. I don’t see why we can’t swipe through to next month to edit the budget?

i find it very frustrating you cannot plan ahead to tweak and adjust your budgets before payday comes around!
