Plan, capture, review, adjust.
A budget is not a forecast you must get perfectly right. It is a decision-making loop. Plan based on what you know, capture what actually happens, review the difference, and use that information next month.
- Plan before the month starts
- Capture transactions close to the purchase
- Review categories once a week
- Adjust without abandoning the plan
