Expenses:Life:Food
Expenses:Life:Phone

I'm not sure I see the problem. Ledger is designed to have any categories
in any grouping you want. You might have Expenses:Electicity, Expenses:Gas,
Expenses:Food etc. Your bal report would list subtotals for each of these
categories and you could do a reg report on any individual categories
