Seasonal Budgets
Enable a budget for different date ranges, or seasons. For example, Christmas time is brutal on budget vs random March time.
This could potentially be like “Black Friday shopping” budget or constraint.

Igor I guess so, maybe. I guess a season could be a category or a thing. Like saving /accounting for a car. I guess it’s all how you frame and present it. Like would be cool to frame it as “I want this thing, here is how to get it”. Like a wish list maybe. Just an idea.
I may have a fundamentally different way of thinking about "Sinking Fund" expenses like Christmas shopping. In my budget, I have a category called Gifts, and I contribute to it every month. For example, I have 7 people that I buy gifts for over the year. 7 people, 2 gifts each (birthday and Christmas), $50/person on average. My annual target for Gifts is 7*2*$50 = $700. So, I save $60 each month. This covers me for all gift shopping all year round. Would something like this work for your seasonal budget idea?
