Hello, I need to create an "budget base", I've these table

income
expenses

In the expenses table I have different categories for each expense, but for some of these I would need also sub-categories like exemples:

    • Person 1
    • Person 2
    • Person 3

What would be the best structure to obtein this?

I hope it's clear, thank you for your help!
