Group spending into simple buckets and spot overspending fast β without manual receipt logging.
You know your bank balance. But the balance only tells you what's left β not where it went. This free ebook closes that gap.
πΊοΈ The Spending Bucket Map β Four buckets: Food (coffee after class, burritos between labs, co-op groceries), Transit (bus fares, rideshares after late study sessions), Social (Wisconsin Union hangouts, campus events, group dinners), and Everything Else (textbooks, laundry, phone bill).
π See The Leak Faster β Compare buckets at month end instead of chasing every receipt. When Social is 3x Transit or Food eats half your paycheck, the pattern jumps out. Spot the $6 coffee habit running $120/month or the rideshares costing more than your semester bus pass.
πͺ£ Set Four Buckets Before Payday β Name your four buckets, pull up one month of transactions, sort each into a bucket, compare totals. No budgets, no goals, no guilt β just see the pattern.
The transformation: stop guessing from receipts, start seeing spending patterns by category β in 20 minutes, once a month. Free download. Immediate access.
