Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Removing the button from below the budget table to the Category menu will preserve vertical space and can prevent users from having to scroll to see their whole budget.

Currently, this is all dead space

We have a category menu, and I think it makes sense to add this "Add Category Group" functionality to it.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I'd like to see the "Add Group" button moved from here:

to be the first item in this menu here:

This would at least be more consistent with the way categories are added

I've gone and implemented this, and it looks like this:

I'll note here that it didn't actually save any vertical space due to a hard-coded pixel height to separate the income from the budget. I think it could be reduced by about 20px and have enough space, but I haven't done that in the image above. EDIT: I've done it in the PR
