You spend first and think later. Here is a budget that accounts for that.

You've tried budgets and they all assume a self-discipline you don't have. This builds a zero-based one that works with the way you actually spend: savings moved out on payday before you can touch them, a guilt-free pot you can blow however you like, and a small buffer. For the person who knows the problem is behaviour, not arithmetic.

My monthly take-home is {MONTHLY_TAKE_HOME}. My essential fixed outgoings are {FIXED_OUTGOINGS}. I know I spend impulsively and struggle to stick to a budget. Build a zero-based budget that works with my behaviour rather than against it. Allocate every pound across essentials, savings (moved out on payday before I can touch it), a guilt-free spending pot I can use however I like, and a 5% buffer. For the savings and bills, recommend the specific standing order or direct debit timing that removes the decision entirely. Add a short 'friction tactics' section with two practical ways to slow down impulse spending without relying on willpower. Show all pound amounts and percentages. Pressure-test totals.
