Create a Budget for the Next Month

My pay days don’t always fall on the first day of the month, they usually fall on the last day of the month. I want to get a head start on planning my budget, but can’t do that until the budget resets on the first.

Plan ahead, NOT BEHIND

Right now, there is no way to set-up your budget ahead of time. This does not make since because the point of a budget is to make it beforehand and stick to the budget. Right now, it is more of a review of spending than making budget. I think you should be able to plan ahead in input your spending goals at least one month in advance if not 3 or 6 months in advance. I also think it would be great if the graph on the chart would show you how your plan compares to your previous or average spending. Almost every bank and financial institution categorizes for you already, the only difference you have at the moment is that you can cross-examine accounts from different institutions but it is nothing special anymore, unlike before. Add a way to plan even one month in the future and it will make a HUGE difference and would bring a lot more customers.

Exactly. I would like to be able to see the entire budget for the year; as I am aware of expenses that need to be budgeted for the future

I would like to plan for future expenses (e.g. vacation, household expenses) and will need to estimate costs. It is difficult to build a budget for this if current budgeting is only based upon past spending and a generalized amount. I would like to have subcategories.

Budgeting a Month in Advance

Allow the ability to budget a month in advance. When I have bills pop up that start a month later, it would be amazing to be able to start the budget and tweak as I see necessary before the month starts, so that when the month starts I am able to see the plan, and not spend a days into the new month finidng what works

Yes! This is what I came here to say. I need to plan for a vacation this summer and I want to put that on a line item for future months.

It would be great to be able to work on future monthly budgets and not just the current month

Yea! Right now Rocket Money is reactive—it tells you what already happened.
I’d want something like:
Ability to set budgets for future months (or the whole year)
Plan for known events (vacations, moving, big purchases)
See how those changes affect my monthly cash flow ahead of time
Maybe even a simple “what-if” view to test scenarios
My spending isn’t flat month-to-month either, so a static monthly budget doesn’t reflect reality. I want to map out the year knowing certain months will be heavier and others lighter, instead of constantly adjusting after the fact.

I am also disappointed that I cannot see future budget. This app would be perfect if this could be added. Previous months would be nice as well, but I have spent a few months researching to find the best app to use and a lot of time linking my accounts, setting up my monthly budget and then went to look at next month and there is not an option. Can you give me an idea if this feature will be added soon? I was hoping to use this app long term.

I wish that there was a away to set a budget for the future. Like not just be able to see the current month's and past month's budgets but to set budgets for future months.
