Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It can be challenging to track upcoming expenses for the current month within the Recurring Expense Tracker. Users may find it difficult to anticipate how much more they will need to spend by the end of the month, impacting budgeting and financial planning.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to add a new display feature that shows the remaining upcoming expenses for the current month. This feature would aggregate all scheduled recurring expenses for the rest of the month, providing a clear overview of how much is still due to be spent. This will help users make more informed financial decisions throughout the month.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any An alternative considered is a calendar view displaying all monthly expenses, though this may be less effective in quickly summarizing upcoming financial commitments for the remainder of the month.

Additional context Adding this feature as a dashboard widget or a dedicated section within the main view could make it easily accessible and ensure users can quickly reference their monthly spending commitments.

Thanks for the suggestion. What do you think about adding a similar header area like in the overview to the upcoming tab? I do not think it makes sense to show the exact same for remaining in this week, month and year but maybe just this month.

Yes, you're probably right that only the remaining month makes sense. Yes, that's how I imagined it in the overview.
