I've seen it in the manual. But from the explanation their it doesn't look like I can change the budgets over time. Sometimes my budgets change due to a move or because I get a new job and can spend more. So for example I want to have a budget report for the year 2014 to see how I did. But in September I moved due to a new job. So I have to increase my budget for rent/groceries/... from September on.
