We've set up EveryDollar with certain Budget Items to get you started, but you can easily delete whichever lines you don't need. Which is great, because who needs a Pet Care line if you don't have a pet?
Just follow these steps on the website at EveryDollar.com:
- Click on the name of the Budget Item you want to delete. A trash can icon appears to the left of the Budget Item.
- Click the trash can icon. A confirmation box pops up to let you know that tracked transactions to the Budget Item will be put back in your Transactions Queue.
- Click Yes, Delete to confirm.
Note: On the EveryDollar app, simply swipe left to delete a Budget Item. It will present the same screen, and you'll tap Yes, Delete.
Pro Tip: If you don't want to delete Budget Items, you can rename them. Just click on the name of the item and type in whatever you like.
Next Steps
Once you have your budget looking the way you want, it's time to enter transactions (either manually or with bank connection).
