Add recurring bills

What you'll do

A recurring bill is a payment you expect every month: the mortgage, the power company, a streaming service. Give it an amount, a due day and the account it's paid from, and Cash Flow shows which bills are paid, which are still coming and which need a look. Bills live on Money out, and related ones can share a group, such as Utilities.
