If budgeting has ever made you feel behind, guilty, or obsessed with categories, you’re not broken — the system is noisy.
Anti-Budget is my approach to money that prioritizes clarity and freedom over tracking every little thing.
What you’ll find here
- Life design money: big choices (like why my wife and I think about sailing and what that changes).
- Hidden costs: stuff that costs attention, time, and options (not just dollars).
- Money systems: simple routines that keep things calm and predictable.
- Tools: calculators and worksheets that help you decide, not just learn.
The one idea I care about most
Money works best when it becomes a repeatable system, not a daily debate.
If you want a starting point, begin with this:
- Once a week: check your “safe to spend” number.
- Once a month: do a 20-minute reset (bills, buckets, one decision).
I’ll share what I’m learning, what I’m testing, and the tools we build as we go.
