1 Assign every dollar โ€” If income is $4,200 and expenses + savings = $4,150, assign that extra $50 somewhere (coffee fund? extra debt payment?). Zero balance.
2 Savings are a line item โ€” Pay yourself first. Savings isn't "whatever is left." It's a fixed assignment.
3 Roll with the punches โ€” Overspent on groceries? Move $20 from "dining out." No guilt, just reassign.
