Hi there. I have an idea that I would really like to see implemented. If I have leftover spending available in one category, I would like to be able to tack it on to another one that is already spent. For example, if I have $50 left in Groceries, I want to move it to Shopping because my shopping has already been maxed out for the month. Thanks!

You can reduce the budget and increase the other. 😉
