Is there a way to make an automatic budget? For example just take the expense numbers for Jan, or the average over the last n months for a category and make that my monthly budget amount?

Right now when I click the "+ Add Budget" there seems to be a random value in there, but in small text, it says "you historically spend $XX on this category". I guess what I would like is to take that historical amount and automatically set it for all categories based on a historic time frame I specify.

Thanks,
Troy

No, but that is a great idea. MS money allowed you to forecast your budget based on past average expenses and income. It was a nice feature to understand your budget basis.
