Install the monthly budget system.
The 20-minute setup
The monthly budget system is the single biggest leverage point in the entire Surplus method. Most people fail not because they can't budget — they fail because the system they're using takes too long to maintain. We're going to fix that.
What you'll do in this lesson
- Open the Monthly Budget spreadsheet (linked in the sidebar)
- Fill in your real income from last month
- Categorize every expense into the 8 core buckets
- Identify the three biggest leaks immediately
- Set the rollover rules for next month
The principle
Every dollar gets a job. Zero left undecided. The dollars you don't decide on are the dollars that disappear. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a working budget for the next 30 days — and a system you can run in 10 minutes a week.
One thing most people miss: budgets fail when they're aspirational. Don't budget the income you "should" make. Budget the income you actually have. Stretch comes later.
