Isn't that an example in its own right? I budget 8 hours a day for work.
But I have sub-accounts for what I use the time for while at work?

And I come back to a question that was asked some time ago, (and not
answered to my knowledge) where do I place the shoes I bought for soccer.
Is that a sports expense or a clothes expense? How do I let it be both?
Thus is this a sports budget item or a clothes item.
