THE BIG PICTURE
Start with a clear picture
A simple budget starts by listing incoming money and regular spending.
Separate essential costs from flexible expenses to understand your options.
Use recent account activity to check whether the plan reflects real life.
A CLOSER LOOK
Start with what actually happened
Recent account activity can show patterns that memory misses. Group essential bills, flexible spending, and irregular costs before setting targets.
Leave room for expenses that do not arrive every month. Revisit the plan as income and commitments change.
