I tried doing budgeting the boring way and it worked after a tiny failure

I started this because my busy month felt a little stuck, and investing seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and debt seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
