From an analytical's standpoing -- how to get categories right?

Okay, I'm trying to use Money for what it's supposed to be for,
categorizing everything properly, and not throwing everything into the
"Miscellaneous" category.

But what about a number of odd things, such as:

Stamps or other similar items... I can't call them Groceries, and it
doesn't seem proper to call them Household, either?

Tithing... giving my 10% to my church doesn't seem to have an applicable
category.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the two that have been bugging
me as of late.

Charity comes to mind. But you can create your own categories by
just typing them in.

However you could add a sub-category such as Charity:My Church

You may want to uncheck
Tools->Categories->UseASingleListForCategories... to make the
2-level categories more apparent.
