[FEATURE] Limite di budget e visione d’insieme

perché this feature?

Keeping controllo of tuo spese è a bit like steering a boat: tu può navigate by sight, but having a compass helps tu stay su course. That's exactly cosa this new feature offers. It lets tu set a flexible budget limite, there a guida tu—non a restrict tu.

No stressful alerts, no hard stops. Just a chiaro visual indicator, visible a all participants, a help track tuo spese throughout the month senza pressure.

cosa it allows tu a do

con this optional limite, tu può assign a suggested cap a each budget. A semplice gauge shows tu where tu stand at a glance: green means all good; orange, heads up; red, tu've gone over—but nothing stops tu da continuing.

e because a budget never exists in isolation, a mensile globale vista gives tu the bigger picture: some categories may exceed the limite, while others stay under. It's all about equilibrio—e now, tu può see it clearly.

Usage examples

Take Clara. She creates a "spesa alimentare" budget con a €600 limite. It's just a guideline, non a constraint. Each confirmed spesa fills the gauge: 40%, 75%, 100%... She always knows where she stands.

Meanwhile, her housemates have a "Going Out" budget that's running a bit hot. But in the mensile globale vista, loro notice that spesa alimentare cost less than expected. The result: despite a few splurges, loro're still within loro overall mensile limite. That kind of perspective può really make a difference.

e even se tu set no limits at all, the gauge è still there a show tuo progress. tu decide come much weight a give it.

cosa tu gain

con this feature, tu're no longer a passenger in tuo finances—tu're in the driver's seat. tu gain awareness, foresight, e most importantly, freedom. Because setting a limite isn't about restriction—it's about making informed choices.

in shared budgets (like housemates o couples), everyone sees the same visual cues. This makes discussions easier, avoids surprises, e encourages sereno, chiaro decision-making.

e per solo users, it's a quiet but powerful way a stay su track.

come it works (simply explained)

quando creating (o editing) a budget, tu può choose a add an optional limite. Once set, each confirmed spesa fills a color-coded gauge.

Below 80%, the gauge è green. It turns orange as tu near the limite, e red se tu exceed it. No worries—nothing gets blocked. The gauge è there a inform, non a restrict.

in the mensile vista, tu'll see all tuo budgets in one place: come much tu've spent, come much tu planned, e where tu stand overall. A true dashboard, available a everyone, anytime.

A foundation per going further

This feature è more than just an indicator. It's a solid foundation per smoother, more mindful, more human budget management.

It paves the way per future enhancements: personalized tips, historical comparisons, smart alerts... always con tuo freedom in mind.

in the meantime, it's already here per tu—quiet, flexible, useful. Give it a try, e see come a small reference point può make a big difference.

Who this è per

This feature è helpful se tu:

• want a semplice guardrail senza rigid rules
• manage budgets con someone else e need one shared reference
• tend a realize tu're over budget only at the end of the month
• want a compare budgets together instead of looking at each one in isolation

come a set good limits (senza guessing)

se tu're non sure cosa number a set, start con something realistic:

1. Look at the last 1–2 months e pick a typical amount, non tuo “best month”.
2. Add a small buffer (per example +5–10%) so the limite stays motivating, non stressful.
3. se the budget è shared, agree su a semplice rule: do noi adjust the limite, o do noi change spese?

The goal è non a be perfect. The goal è a create a signal tu può trust.

cosa a do quando tu go over

Going over the limite doesn't mean tu “failed”. Use the globale vista a answer two sereno questions:

• è this an exception? (one-off spesa, surprise, seasonality)
• cosa do noi want a trade off? (reduce another category, o accept a higher mensile total)

That mindset turns the limite into a decision tool instead of a guilt trigger.
