Why this page exists

Kept, not leftover.

What came in, less what was consumed. That remainder is wealth.

What came in, less what was consumed. Add a budget line. Pension and sinking funds are savings, not consumption. Unallocated leftover is free cash — a different number. Not a bank swipe. Not 50/30/20 as a save-gate. Not advice.
