FAQ
What is the 'Safe-to-Spend' balance?
Instead of forcing you to track 30 tiny category budgets, the Safe-to-Spend meter automatically subtracts your upcoming fixed bills, debt payments, and savings allocations from your income, giving you one clear number you can spend safely without guilt.
How does the Impulse Cooling Queue work?
When you feel an urge to make an unplanned online purchase, add it to the Impulse Queue with a 24-hour or 7-day timer. The spreadsheet tracks how much money you save when urges pass, turning impulse control into a rewarding milestone.
Does this work in both Google Sheets and Excel?
Yes! Both native Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) workbooks and instant Google Sheets copy links are included in both Light and Dark modes.
