Turn a Credit Card Statement Into a Spending Story
You glance at the credit card total, wince, and pay it. But the total tells you nothing about why. This turns a month's statement into a spending story: your top three categories by spend, recurring charges you've forgotten you're paying, and any single transaction worth a second look. The shape of the spending, not just the number.
