Category already spent
This is more of a question, when I look in the actual spending dashboard but look through the category section - it shows me the total budget/ how much is left to fund/ how much is left to spend (two spots) but it doesn’t show the total spent - small thing, I know. But unless I open the eye to look at each individual transaction or look at the donut (both of which I do use very often), I have to either do that or do math to figure out what I have left. Unfortunately, I am not very “mathy” and I am very visual as you have come to quickly learn.
Just curious if the total on the left 788.34/1500 could actually indicate the total spent here - so I have spent 411.56/1500 and then leave the right side with that super helpful info big and bolded?
Again, there are other very simple ways to see this info, its not imperative for me, just a thought.

Hi Jody,
This is built and is now live. It was a good ask!
That left number now shows what you asked for: what you have spent this month, with the word "spent" right there so no decoding needed. The big bold number on the right stays as what is in the envelope. No more math, no more opening the eye first.
And here is the fun part: your report uncovered a real bug. When you wrote in, you guessed you had spent $411.56 of your $1,500. The true number was $411.66. Ten cents off, from someone who claims to not be mathy(jk!).
And the bug was on our side, the card was mixing your spending into your funding progress.
You had put $1,200 toward your $1,500 Groceries target, so it should have said $300.00 to fund, but it showed $711.66 because your grocery runs were being subtracted from it. That is fixed too, so the progress bar and the "to fund" number now track how funded the envelope is, and spending from it no longer erases that progress.
