Tips

Categories acts as identifying tags and you can create multiple categories useful to your own budgeting purposes. For example, if you create tags such as "insurance" and "wife" then type "insurance, wife" into the Category field, then an "insurance" search later would bring up all transactions related to insurance, and identify those related to your wife's vehicle.

Notes are useful for annotating transactions, especially for transactions that are somewhat out of the norm. This can help you remember the details about that transaction later.
