Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

The problem is that currently goals recalculate if you spend while trying to reach a goal, leading to spending more than planned. The problem can be understood by identifying 2 different types of goals, "balance goal" or "spending goal", each behaving differently.

  • "balance goal" is the current implementation where it will try to reach/maintain that balance, this is useful for things like an emergency fund.
  • "spending goal" where one wants to be able to spend while the balance is being filled and does not want to spend above that, this is useful for things like vacation fund, where vacations during the year can use up some of the saved balance.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Probably a new term can be added to the template to identify these 2 types of goals. Eventually this would be better if its a property of a category and not part of the template system.
