This is copied from my suggestion at user mail list and it was asked to be added here too. The issue here is, that some expences happen during the year, without beforehand knowing when. So it would be logical to budget these kind of things by using field "yearly" instead of monthly or individual.

***
I was wondering if the yearly amounts could be used in budget reports 
so that the monthly available sum is the sum that was budgeted deducted 
with sum that has been already used in previous months?

For example. Let's assume I have category for computer games, with 
budgeted yearly amount of 500 euros. Let's assume I spent 50 euros in 
January, so I would have budget report that says for January:

        Used  Budgeted
Games   50      500

Then, in February I use 80 euros. In this point I think the budget 
report should say for February:


        Used  Budgeted
Games   80      450


In the beginning of the March the month report should look like:

        Used  Budgeted
Games    0      370


The yearly report should look like this, after February:

        Used  Budgeted
Games  130      500
