Split out housing costs as a top-level category in the Spending Plan

Right now, I have my rent categorized under Bills. It dwarfs all other "bills" I have, especially relative to subscriptions. I would like to be able to separate out housing costs in order to more easily understand the breakdown of that large number at a quick glance.

    If you want to get your rent payment out of the Bills section you could set it up as a Planned Spending expense. I do this with a couple of my recurring monthly expenses.

    I second Danny's suggestion. I didn't like my Tithe looking like a bill, so I made it a subscription. That won't work for you, but the problem is we all have our peculiar situation. Another big bill I get every six months is INSURANCE. Like your rent, it dwarfs everything. I should switch to monthly billing to space it out but hate to pay another $3 per month, and I am not sure they wouldn't charge me $6 since there are two: auto and home.
