This is really the only functionality that is making me second guess moving from EveryDollar. I have so many bills on annual pay, and I do not like surprises! So with ED, I would setup future expenses divided into monthly amounts that I could count as part of my monthly budget. I would "spend" the money by paying it to myself. I have tried to mirror this in LM, but it's very cumbersome at the moment since it's not native functionality.

Would love a savings/goals feature

i was seaching for this too

This ticket has been open for almost 3 years with 200 upvotes! Would love to see this or zero-based budgeting added to the roadmap. Currently my "goals" in LM look like expenses and whenever I contribute to the "expense" (i.e. saving money) it appears as a negative number since I am not spending which is incredibly confusing!

Using my trial right now and so far LOVING this app! I wish I could switch from Actual Budget (after YNAB priced me out) but the lack of a savings feature is the dealbreaker for me because I've always used budgeting as my way of visualizing and tracking savings goals

Upvoting. I'm back on Lunch money after having gone back to Mint due to the savings goal feature but back since they're shutting down.

I agree with at least adding a "Savings" category in addition to Income and Expenses when budgeting an item. Of course, having a more robust savings and goals tracker would be ideal!

This would be a great feature

Jen Is there an update on this one?

This is the one thing the app is missing. If it had this, it'd be perfect for me. I don't have a big income at the moment and so saving is a huge priority for me, but without any goals, it's hard to visualize.

Just being able to do "budget out $XXX per month to be put into savings" would be wonderful.
