Perfect for you if...

  • You're tired of being broke before your next payday and ready for a system that actually sticks, not another overwhelming spreadsheet.
  • You've tried budgeting before but quit because it took too long, and you want something you can genuinely maintain week to week.
  • You know you need to build an emergency fund and tackle debt, but you're not sure where to start or what's holding you back financially.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for get-rich-quick schemes or investment hacks, because this is about the fundamentals of spending less than you earn.
  • You need detailed tax advice or complex financial planning for high-net-worth situations, as this focuses on foundational money management.
  • You prefer theoretical frameworks over practical, actionable systems you can implement immediately.

About this book

This second edition offers a budget system designed for beginners that requires only 15 minutes per week to maintain. The book covers building emergency savings, eliminating debt, ensuring long-term financial stability, and identifying 11 common budget pitfalls that can derail financial plans. Breyer provides a straightforward budgeting method along with practical tools and knowledge for taking control of money and paying off debt. The book includes lifetime digital access to the Money Tracker, a tool designed to simplify budget planning. New to this edition is a chapter addressing the relationship between money and happiness, focusing on psychological barriers that may contribute to living paycheck to paycheck. Minor revisions were also made to the original text.
