The 20-minute weekly money check-in
A short routine that replaces tracking every purchase.
October 16, 2026
Pick the same day each week and set a 20-minute timer.
Look back
Open your bank app and scan last week's spending. Note anything that surprised you.
Look ahead
List bills and plans for the coming week. Move money if a bucket will run short.
Decide one thing
End with one small action, such as cancelling a subscription or moving extra cash to savings.
