Default I need two "linked" columns

I have made a budget/expense tracker for personal use, that I would like to
do something with that I cannot figure out how to do. The expense input
sheets contain two columns that add up where my money went. I would like to
turn them into drop lists, but I want the available choices in the second
columns depend on the choice that was made in the first column. That way, if
I choose "Car" in the first column, only options related to "Car" will be
available in the second, not things like "Books" or "Dining Out"

What you're looking for are 'Dependent Lists' which are explained at Debra
Dalgleish's web page at this link:

Thank you very much, I was beginning to wonder if I could even do it. It
seems so easy just looking at her website.
