The general gist is that saving money is difficult. So you could set a target amount, even set a target date and get reminded of when to add money to a piggy bank. If you have one year to save € 1200,- you could remind yourself monthly and Firefly will tell you to save € 100,- every month.
## Recurring transactions
Rent, bills and insurance come back every month. By creating "recurring transactions" Firefly III will try to tell you what to expect, and when. I built this because I always forgot my yearly web hosting bill (which is huge) and this helps preventing it being a nasty surprise.

## Repeated expenses
Currently disabled. A repeated expense is a bit like a recurring transaction, but "reversed". You can imagine saving up for taxes _every year_. Maybe you need money for Christmas gifts, _every year_. Or you want to save up for new clothes _every three months_. With Firefly III you can create such repeated expenses and get reminded of them every week or month.
