FAQ
- Why only four categories?
- A first budget works better simple; a teen can move to the full Monthly Budget Planner later once the basic habit is comfortable.
- Should Savings really come before Spending?
- That's a deliberate choice, often called "paying yourself first" — deciding the savings amount before spending plans tends to actually protect it.
