What's the difference between College & Other expenses and Living expenses?
Living expenses include day-to-day expenses. For example, your family's living expenses increase as your family grows, and they decrease when your kids move away and you retire. Other expenses are one-time and short-term expenses. For example, you need to plan for one-time adoption costs or hospital bills when you have a new family member. You need to plan for short-term expenses when your child is in day care or college.
Is everything I pay for considered an expense (either Living or College & Other)?
No. Loan and debt payments and the cost of major assets (such as your house) are not considered expenses of either type. Track these instead in the Homes & Assets and Loans & Debt places.
However, expenses that you associate with your home are reflected here. For more information on adjusting home-related expenses, see Change the income and expenses for your house.
