If you’re a freelancer bringing in $2,000–$10,000 a month, you know this cycle: a great payment lands, you finally breathe, spend a little — then the slow month hits and you’re broke again. It’s not a discipline problem. It’s a timing problem.

The Feast Month Trap gives you a mechanical system that routes every payment the moment it lands, before impulse gets a vote. Inside: the Pre-Spend Rule, a Buffer Calculator sized to your real numbers, a Reset Protocol for when you blow a feast month anyway, plus a Setup Checklist and Payment Calendar to run the whole thing in about 30 minutes.

Built on real behavioral economics research (not generic budgeting advice), grounded in Richard Thaler’s Nobel-winning work on mental accounting.
