I think you must use subgroups, but nothing says you can't have only
one.

I find them useful to group like categories. I don't use too many but
it helps to categorize broadly like, healthcare, housing,
transportation, and the like.

I manage my Mom's money and she's on the brink of moving into an
assisted living facility. Categorizing her budget into groups of
expenses that will remain after the move (healthcare) and those that
won't (housing) make it much easier to see a big picture.

Is there any significance to the various sub-groups in the Advanced Budget
screen in MM+? For example, the sub headings "Debt", "Entertainment",
"Family", "Food", "Taxes", etc, just to name a few, to me are a pain. I would
rather have only 2 master groups; Income and Expenses, and there respective
catagories listed in assending order in each. Is there any reason I can't do
away with all the sub-groups??
