Summarise Your Monthly Spending in Five Categories
You earn enough, yet the money's gone by the 20th and you couldn't say where. This takes your expenses, or a raw list of transactions, and sorts everything into five buckets: housing, food, transport, lifestyle and savings or debt. Each comes out as a percentage of take-home, so the pattern is finally visible.
