Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I would like to be able to assign a budget for a group, while actually assigning transactions to categories within the group. The idea is that expenses of individual categories count against the group budget, if assigned. See monarch feature: https://www.monarchmoney.com/whats-new/group-level-budgeting

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Would like to be able to assign budget at Group level and have individual category expenditure count against group budget.

Very interested in this feature. I recently moved from JNAB and I have to keep a general category in the group in the old way. After that I need to deduct from the general category if there are expenses within the group.

Entertainment:

• money for a month
• PC games
• books

I like how it is implemented in MonarchMoney.
