This guide is being written. Here is what it will cover.
The problem it solves
Budget templates ask for one monthly income number the reader does not have.
What the guide will cover
- Find a base from recent months, and say how many months you used
- Fund bills from the base only
- Park the extra until the month is real
- Taxes set aside are not spending money
- A second account is a tool, not a requirement to buy a product
