Trends

The Trends tool builds even further on your budgeting categories to help track spending over time as compared to income. It shows spending history by category, in relation to income. This way, you can quickly determine if you are spending more than you are making.

Note:  Your financial institution (FI) has a choice of two providers for Financial Tools: MX or Geezeo. This feature is only available to users with MX Personal Financial Management. To learn more, see Determining your Financial Tools provider.
