What goes wrong

Running a calculator once with ideal assumptions, then making a decision. The number looks good in a normal month. One expense spike later, the plan collapses.

If this only works in a perfect month, it is not realistic.

Fix: run each tool twice โ€” once at your target and once at your worst recent month. If only one scenario passes, dial back until both hold.

Example: if income drops from $6,200 to $4,900 for one month and your plan fails instantly, the target is too tight.

Decision branching before opening a tool

If your urgent issue is debt APR above 20% โ†’ start with the debt payoff planner first.

If your income is variable by more than 25% โ†’ start with budget planner and savings runway tools.

If core bills are stable and debt is controlled โ†’ run investing or FI projections next.
