Hello yes itā€™s me. I request this in every thread that it comes up and Iā€™m putting it out here for votes. Do I expect a lot of votes? No. Would I like this feature? Yes. I am at 50 categories and have just had my first haircut since pre-pandemic and have had to put it in personal care which is not ideal šŸ˜· So. Thatā€™s it really. More than 50 custom categories pls. ---

Voted šŸ‘ I donā€™t need more than 50 categories, but Iā€™d like you to have them! ---

^^ Same. Partly because Iā€™m in awe of how organised you are with them. When you first said you had 50, I thought ā€œThatā€™s loads, surely you donā€™t need all thoseā€ and then when you listed them, they all make sense! ---

Things like chapstick, hand cream/sanitizer, and medicine (whether just paracetamol or a prescription). Haircuts being in there isnā€™t the _worst_ but given itā€™s a much ā€˜biggerā€™ event/purchase and obviously a lot more costly, would appreciate it being its own thing for top level visibility. ---

I just had a look into my YNAB at my ā€œPersonal Careā€ category. I split mine in at least 6 ways that are appropriate to show on the internet: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/e/e/eed0ad3a350e9171ee2068675d721635b5e54f81.png) So yeah more categories plllllease! ---

Yeah I would like dentist to be a separate one too but didnā€™t wanna get too into it šŸ˜© Interesting that your clothing sits in the same place as health etc. but I can see the logic alongside barbers. My clothes and accessories (I guess thatā€™s like your apparel?) are their own top level categories rn. ---

Yeah honestly I had so much debate about how I would structure it. If this was in Monzo and I could only have 50 ā€œTop Levelā€ categories, I totally would do the same. But with the power of Sub Categories, this sort of feels like my ā€œCategory for all things self improvementā€, wether health / image / etc. Thatā€™s the beauty of subcategories though. ---
