Subcategories

Misty

I would love the ability to further micro manage my spending with subcategories, especially with the bills category. For instance I pay child support which technically is a bill but because it is a huge part of my spending it is currently it’s own category. Same with rent. It would be nice to put all things like this into the bills category then be able to drill it down further if wanted or needed.

Agree

I agree would love to split shopping into major categories like Amazon and Dining into categories like Starbucks etc

Paulo

I agree. Very useful.

Can your product owners please prioritize this?  this is a basic need and not overly complex to develop.  There are several competitors that you can do competitive analysis on and see how simple it can be!
Another example of a need is for Kids-- I want a category "kids" then the subcategories under it- kids medical, kids clothes, kids activities, etc.  
This is clearly a need and surprising this isn't at the top of your priority list as everything else is build out pretty well (at least for the app).  I'm a desktop user so the fact that you can't add a transaction on the desktop is another issue I can take up in another thread...

I would like to be able to use the categories and my historical spending info in them within categories like needs and wants. This is relevant for more of a percentage budget system. Would be nice to be able to tag groceries as needs and shopping transactions as wants.

I'm still having a hard time accepting this isn't already a feature. I want to keep track of how much I spend on certain groceries but I can only categorize as grocery and nothing else. Free financial trackers offer this feature, how can rocket money, that costs money, not have it?

Dallin

I’d love this too! To be able to drill down to see a more detailed list, or consolidate spending to see a higher level. I’d love to see spent on food and see groceries and eating out .

Or I like to golf and hunt, and to be able to combine all those spend categories for “fun spend”

Julia

Yes similarly I would love subcategories, particularly under bills & utilities. Some fixed costs are more fixed than others and I’d love to group them. For example I put subscriptions, child care, mortgage, car payments, insurance under there so I know my fixed monthly but would love to see a breakdown when forecasting scenarios for future budgeting changes / savings. I love your product overall so thank you Rocket Money!!!

Manu

Any update on getting tags? I’m considering switching to Monarch Money bc they allow tags on top of categories.

Also, this should take no more than one sprint for 1-2 Engineers. Confused why it has been YEARS and not actioned. Just saying.
