Personal budgeters cannot easily exclude one-time expenses from budget trends

Home renovation, emergency car repairs, or holiday travel throw off monthly budget analysis, making it unclear whether spending is actually increasing or if a month was just an outlier. Personal budgeting apps like YNAB and Mint don't let users filter or exclude irregular expenses from trend reports without manual manipulation.
