there's lots of transactions people have happen automatically - rent, utilities, etc.

In YNAB at least, all of those can be scheduled as recurring and you only have to mark them cleared when they've happened.

Utilities costs are almost always variable, so it would still require manually entering them in.

rent would probably make sense. my utilities change each month, so "recurring" as an event makes sense, but not the amount.
