Budget ideas

[davegod75]

Four things for the overview/budget page.

1. Can the alerts section be moved below the budget? I think this would be moving visually appealing. I find the alerts annoying because there is no ability to turn them off. If they cannot be turned off moving them below would be great

2. When you go over budget in an area the little total amount that appears in the bar goes away, and is replaced with how much you are over budget. I think the number should stay.

3. Can the ability to sort the budget items by name/budget amount/etc. be added?

4. In the header section (darker gray title bar) for the budget graphs it would be nice to see some options for viewing the past months budget data. Also a toggle for see YTD data would be awesome.

Thanks and continue the good work

Anyone got any ideas for a money budget or websites where to download them?

I agree that having the ability to sort the budget categories (or move them around/re-shuffle them freely) would be very helpful. I'd like to be able to put the ones most important to me up the highest.

Also, it seems that I can't get rid of the default budget categories. For example, I don't own a car. Therefore, the gas category in the budget does not apply. However, because I bought some gas while borrowing a friend's car, the default suggeseted budget for gas when I first signed up for mint was $15. I can't get rid of the category, even though it isn't pertinent to my budget. The only thing I can do is change the budgeted amount to $0, which is only slightly more helpful.

I too would like to be able to see my past month's budgets and what was spent... If I don't log in on the last day of the month and get a screen shot then how will keep track of how I did previous Months... Oh and how about a year to date budget report?

I agree, being able to see histories of budget performance would be great.
