One database. Two numbers that matter: what you planned to spend and what actually happened.
Step 1 — Add your income Log every income source (salary, freelance, side income) with a Budgeted amount.
Step 2 — Add your expenses Add every regular expense: rent, utilities, food, transport, subscriptions. Set a Budgeted amount for each.
Step 3 — Update Actual weekly Once a week, update the Actual column with what you really spent. By month end you'll see exactly which categories ran over — and why.
Step 4 — Adjust next month Make one adjustment based on what you learned. Just one.
💡 Tip: The gap between Budgeted and Actual is where financial clarity lives. Don't stress about it — use it.
