There can only be one budget active for any account at a time. You can just
set it to annual I guess, then it won't reset monthly.

Fava budgets seem different from what you want though, as they basically
just provide a number against which your actual transactions can be
compared (graphically). No more, no less. It fits well with how I handle
money (for example, why would a budgeted amount ALWAYS come out of the same
bank account?), but not with what's described in that page, which I just
skimmed through.
