/02 Manifesto A short read.

Your spending is mostly behavior.
Your budget should be too.

Conventional tools track the money. That's the easy part. What they don't do is tell you how to adjust when your spending doesn't match your best intentions.

Thinking Budget starts from a different premise: the goal isn't to follow a budget perfectly — it's to understand your patterns and course-correct in real time.

/03 Method Three ideas.

The whole product, in three moves.

Each one is small. Together they're the difference between a budget that lasts a week and one that lasts a year.

I. The premise

The 30% Rule

30% of your spending is actually flexible
70% FIXED30% FLEX

About 70% of your spending is locked in — housing, utilities, debt. You really only control ~30%. We focus your attention exactly there.

II. The habit

Savings, first.

$0budgeted before savings are funded

Fund your savings goals before you budget for anything else. Non-negotiable. This one habit changes everything downstream.

III. The ritual

Weekly review.
