Is there an "everything else" bucket when making a budget?

keroberous

Hi all. When creating a budget, Quicken automatically populated values in a large number of categories based on past spending. I changed the budget for categories that are important to me, but now I have left over money remaining. I would like to have just an "everything else" bucket that will capture all the other categories that I don't need to budget for but I can't seem to see if that is an option. Thanks for the help!

There is not currently a feature like this in Quicken Mac. There is an existing Idea thread for this here, and you should visit that thread to cast your vote if you want to encourage the developers to add such a feature.

That's unfortunate, but thank you for your response.

How are you categorizing these transactions "that I don't need to budget for"?
To individual categories or to a Catch-all category that you created, "Misc. Expenses" or "Unallocated Expenses" or something similar like that?

What I mean by don't need to budget for is that I don't feel the need to delineate between them to such a great extent in my budget. Right now they're being categorized individually but I suppose I could create a catch-all category as you suggest. The only problem is that even though I don't feel the need to budget for some of these categories, it would be useful to see where I was doing more spending.
