Then you need something "beefier". Return Essentials for a refund and get
Plus.

Actually I suggest you download the Plus trial and see if it works the way
you want. If you have an existing .mny file the Plus trial will upgrade it
and it won't be usable with Essentials if you want to revert, so make a copy
of the "essentials" file before installing the Plus trial.

I have the exact same question - the default categories don't work for me. I
need to decide if essentials is good enough for my needs and this will be a
deciding factor. (I have very, very simple needs - basically a check
register with the ability to download transaftions from my bank)

I want to add customized categories, is this possible in Essentials?
