Clicking on an income or expenditure category reveals the details of each item for that category in the current month. (You can check data from several months ago.) 5. Historical data is statistically organized by month, showing income/expenditure details for each month, and can be updated at any time. (You can see which month you spent more and here the money went.) 6. The settlement balance for the current month is automatically carried over to the next month. (Save a little more this month, and you can spend a little more next month.) 7. If the expenditure exceeds the income for the current month, expenditure items are displayed in red.
