In this video you'll log your first expense. Your home screen already shows it as your first quest. Tap the round button in the middle of the tab bar.
That's Quick Log. It opens from any screen, so logging is always one tap away. Tap Add Expense.

Start with the amount, using the keypad at the bottom. I'll enter $42.50.
0:33 Pick a category (needs vs wants)
Next, the category. Tap the category row and pick one. I'll choose Food and Groceries.
The tag next to it shows whether this counts as a need or a want in your budget. Subcategories are optional and part of Premium, so I'll skip them.

Pay From is the account the money comes out of. Right now that's the bank account from setup.
Merchant is optional, but it makes your history easier to read. Tap it and type the store name.

Your first expense completes a quest, so you earn XP. I just went from level 2 to level 3. Tap Continue.
