Planning notes
Keep assumptions practical and conservative first. Then tighten your target profile until it feels sustainable and realistic.
- Build a baseline that feels realistic for ordinary months.
- Reduce discretionary categories before cutting core essentials.
- Re-check categories annually for inflation and lifestyle changes.
