Why this matters
Money stress isn’t just numbers — it’s sleep, focus, and your sense of control. We’ll rebuild cash flow and psychology together so your habits support your goals.
Core problem
Subscription leaks, impulse buys, BNPL debt, and vague goals create a constant low-grade anxiety loop.
How we fix it
Use the 3-Jar Budget (Spend · Save · Invest), weekly audits, and tiny rules that make good choices automatic.
The Money Reset Levers
3-Jar Spend · Save · Invest
<30% Credit utilization
3–6 mo Emergency fund
+1% Monthly savings rate
1) The 3-Jar Budget (simple beats perfect)
Route income on payday: essentials & fun (Spend), buffer & goals (Save), long-term growth (Invest). Start with rough targets and improve later.
2) Leak Audit (subscriptions, delivery, small drips)
Sort your last 90 days. Keep only what you use weekly or that buys >$ value in time/health.
3) Impulse Guardrails
Use a 24-hour hold, no-phone checkout, and a weekly Wishlist Review to reduce dopamine buys.
4) Credit Health
Keep utilization <30%, automate minimums, and schedule a debt snowball or avalanche.
5) Mindset & Sleep
Money anxiety drops when sleep is steady. Night screens ↘ → impulse buys ↘.
Route money on payday first. Decisions later get easier.
