# Where does my money go?

Another essential insight provided by the app is the **"Where Does My Money Go?"** screen, which helps you track your spending across different categories.

* **Purpose**: This insight displays how much money has been spent in each category for a given month, giving you a clear view of your expenses.
* **Data Display**: Each category is listed with its corresponding spent amount and the percentage of your total spending. This helps you quickly identify which areas are consuming the most of your budget.
* **Visual Aid**: Colored progress bars and percentages next to each category visually highlight the proportion of your total spending, making it easier to see where your money is going.

By reviewing this insight, you can ensure that your spending aligns with your financial goals and adjust your habits accordingly to maintain control over your budget.
