Rolling budgets (please)

[luketomlinson]

Hi,

Rolling budgets has been “coming soon” for 6+ months now. This was the reason I got Emma pro. I know that this will probably get tagged with “most wanted features”, but I don’t know how else to raise visibility. Like I get that y’all are a startup and priorities change, but I’m starting to lose faith a bit that these features will ever come.

I’ve really liked the idea of Emma, but not sure I will stick around if the features I came for don’t get improved/built.

Hi @luketomlinson,

I am Edoardo, co-founder of Emma.

We have decided to prioritise this for Q1, meaning Feb-March.

I hope we can get it out as soon as possible.

Any update on Rolling Budgets? They were supposed to be our last spring.

Hi Emma team

As Q1 is nearing its end, are you on track to roll out rolling budgets?
I could really do with this seeing my grocery budget is a right rollercoaster

Thanks

Yes,

we are doing a final release.

In the next couple of days, you will see our first two changes:

• Past pay periods
• Past budgets

Great, thanks @edoardomoreni … will keep an eye out for these

Hey folks

Closing this thread now - any feedback about Rolling Budgets can go here

Rolling budgets - Feedback

I assumed that rolling budgets would enable me to set some categories (such as Holidays) with an annual budget, and others (such as Groceries) with a monthly budget. If I spend my whole holiday budget for the year in January, I obviously don’t want it to appear as being over budget for the whole year until it finally ‘catches up’. It’s hugely disappointing, I had been waiting for the is feature for so long and now it looks like it is basically useless for the way I manage my budget.
