Targets & spending in one clear view

I can’t stand that targets & spending are in two separate places when they’re such related things. Why on earth isn’t there a single clear view that shows me the target for a category vs the spending for that category. The two pages have completely different settings (have to manually exclude categories from them both separately - why?!).

Just a simple ‘target’ line on the spending graph would be so handy! I don’t really need to know my average spending, I need to know whether I’m over my target or not. Adding up the amount I’ve spent on food or transport is meaningless to me without seeing whether I’m within the target or not.

Bring back the pie charts you used to have that just showed those two figures in a really clear, visual way. The current setup is messy, disjointed, & annoying to use split over 2 pages.

I’ve just spent ages getting it all set up so the two pages even show the same amounts for different categories, it really shouldn’t be that hard. Now I’ve finally got it working together, the only really useful bit of information is the ‘Breakdown’ section on the target tab. If that could be a nice clear chart on the front page that would be banging.

Not everyone wants the same visuals.

I gave up setting targets, but do wish to monitor my spending.

Makes sense for the two to be separate.

Some may also only set targets for certain categories, like eating out, but travel and grocery are what they are so don’t need targets.

Yesss exactly! I have mine set up so Spending has every transaction that goes through Monzo + any of my connected accounts (including rent, bills, anything recurring etc) so I can monitor actual expenditure. I then use Target to stay on track with incidental day-to-day spending from my current account + credit cards so I can be sure I only spend my disposable income and can pay them off in full every month. Having them separate is super useful to me.
