This might be an ‘unused’ issue. I presume since you’re getting started, none of those 26 accounts have any existing transactions, correct?
Go to: View > Filter By > Other and check off: Show Unused Accounts (optionally) Show Zero Total Accounts (optionally) Show Hidden Accounts You should now be able to budget for those accounts. Nesting is not an issue. I have some accounts about 6-7 deep and I can use them in the budget. However, I’m curious as to why the ‘Home' account under expenses? There are other ways to categorize or tag expenses and while budgets don’t work with those methods, if the accounts themselves are unique you can include them selectively in various budgets without the need to nest them all under a ‘Home’ placeholder. The same goes for various reports.
