I would like to say i love John's idea of putting buckets in rooms... at least from a visual standpoint... and using as a visual only tool would not compromise the concept of the app... jhmo... I currently have around 70 buckets - and yes i am slowly whittling them down.. but i would love to put all the household buckets in a house folder, and travel buckets in a airplace/ or rv picture folder, etc etc... (would be even better if we could pick the icon representation :) ) & all my different auto buckets (i need them to track taxes, and work related cost separately) into a garage room...
