Month-over-month trends

The /trends page shows every budget you've saved side by side so you can spot lifestyle creep before it compounds.

2 min read

Trends is a table of every budget you've saved, one row per month. Columns include take-home pay, shelter, transport, living, debt, savings, investments, and discretionary. Values that grew compared to the previous month show a subtle up-arrow.

Spotting lifestyle creep

Discretionary and dining/subscriptions are the usual suspects. If those columns drift upward for 3+ months while savings stays flat, you're experiencing lifestyle creep: the gradual absorption of income by unmemorable spending.

Good to know

Trends is a Pro feature. Free users see an upgrade nudge on this page.

Tip

Review Trends at the start of every month before you build the new budget. It's a 30-second gut check that keeps your next budget honest.
