A simple money clarity exercise

Replace money worry with a gentle first estimate you can build on when you feel ready.
What would feeling safe mean to you?
Finish the sentence in your own words.
Make a gentle first estimate
Choose a simple range for each monthly essential. An exact number is always optional.
No digging through statements is needed today. A best guess is enough, and “I’m not sure yet” is a useful answer.
My Estimated Monthly Safety Range
This is a first draft based only on the estimates you feel ready to make today.
Optional reality check
If you know your current monthly income, you can compare it with your estimated range. You can also skip this.
One small step
You do not need every answer. Choose only one expense to understand a little better this week.
