Amazing thanks Jami
A question answered 9 hours before I ask it makes for an easy conversation, thanks!
Thereās something I donāt like about the line āIt looks like you will run out of moneyā. It feels a little, presumptuous. Maybe swapping the word āwillā for āmayā will succumb my petty annoyance.
Ive taken it as a challenge to prove it wrong. No donut is going to tell me what to do
Not sure if this has been mentioned. I would prefer to not see the other categories which arenāt in use. Currently they are greyed out, but think it would be more aesthetically appealing without them!
New to Monzo as of about 2 weeks, but what got me into this was the ability to really track my spending.
Monthly tracking is great, but as I get paid around the 26th of each month, Iād like the ability to be able to track from pay cheque-to-pay cheque without trackers resetting on the 1st of every month.
Itās a simple addition that is hopefully on its way! Iāve discussed with friends and this is the main feature keeping some of them away from joining, and others away from continuing to use Monzo!
hi
Have you signed up to (more like toggled to activate) Monzo Labs feature? It does exactly this
Still in test phase so isnāt perfect yet, but it will be
Ah Rat replied before I finished typing but have you seen this blog post? Thereās an option to mark inbound payments as salary (above Ā£500 if Iām not wrong). Sounds like something that would work for you!
Hey Franco
Iāve moved your post here where thereās more details about the custom start dates for the month functionality, which you can try with Monzo Labs. If you decide to give it a go, please share your feedback here
If not, once this testingās done theyāll release this for everyone
Hi Alex,
Thanks for this, however this is based on my pay going straight into my account, which it doesnāt at the moment. Instead Iāve transferred a portion of my pay which Iād like to use.
There should be an option to allow me to allocate the start and end tracking dates, or to allocate a separate income into the account as my āstarting pointā.
Any way to help here?
You can still mark transfers from yourself as income if Iām not wrong, and set custom dates instead of having it just at the start of the month. Minimum amount still applies though, though some people have asked to have this lowered for freelancers etc.
Yes Jamiās said that theyāre planning to review this
Are you able to let me know how I can do that?
When I go to āSet Paydateā it doesnt show the Transfer to make this my income.
Was the transfer more than Ā£500?
It was exactly Ā£500! Assuming that it has to be just over?
Hmm Iād be surprised but maybe transfer it back & try Ā£500.01?
I transferred the money back on the 26th of April - would there be anyway of marking this as my income and then setting the dates according to that?
As far as I can tell no. If itās not showing as a transaction you can select to choose pay date then it just defaults to monthly. It is changing to a lower amount soon. Details of the changes were posted before but itās a long thread so hereās a direct link to the post Labs Feedback: Summary š
What I would find really useful is for those items which you have tagged show under their own catagory under āSpendingā.
This would allow users to see useful information like how much they are spending on lunch or nights out without having to search for it which is a bit tedious.
Custom categories would be the dream! Or add things like breakfast, lunch, dinner, night out, special occasions and treats (cause sometimes you just gotta). Custom āupload a photoā icons would be a nice touch too!
