How to account for combined Rent/Power payment in budget
Options

Hi everyone,
I live in NYC, and in NYC very often rent and Electric/Gas get combined on the same payment.
While I can create a generic Rent+Power+Gas category, it would really be nice to see the electric/gas breakdown MoM so I can reduce electric usage as needed.
Any suggestions on how I separate a combined payment to two separate categories?
