The more information you keep on your earning and spending habits, the easier it is to take control of your personal finances. In the following paragraphs we will take a closer look on how to record\u00a0where<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0exactly your spending takes place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember, adding extra information to either incomes or expenses is done in the same way. We’ll show you how to do this for an expense, but you would add location information to an income in an identical fashion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Selecting the Location tab<\/h4>\n

After you have entered the amount for your expense and selected a category, click the “Show more<\/strong>” button on the bottom of the expense window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Location option is the first optional feature in the extended view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Entering the location details<\/h4>\n

Select the newly shown tab to receive a list of suggestions on your current location. This list depends on the location information that your web browser can obtain at the time. By default you will see the venues in your vicinity.\u00a0If the location you’re searching for isn\u2019t on the list, or if you are recording a past expense, enter it manually.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that, for example, you bought a pair of running shoes. You can enter the store\u2019s name and the app will provide a list of options.\u00a0Another option is to enter the name of the venue, add a comma<\/strong> (,<\/strong>), and type in the town or city<\/strong> where the expense took place. Check this guide on the use of a comma with locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Reviewing locations<\/h4>\n

The Locations tab in the main menu displays a map with all the recorded expenses with stored locations. Clicking on a mark on the map brings up a bubble with the amount that was spent there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From here you can review the expenses in detail just like in the main Expenses menu. Select an expense from the list to see additional information, as well as the exact location on a mini map.<\/p>\n
