Money mostly leaves in small amounts.

Pick a small daily amount: a coffee, a delivery fee, a subscription you forgot about. Watch it fill the pond.

5 a day is 1,825 a year and18,250in 10 years, simply set aside.

Example amounts. Nothing is converted or saved; nothing you choose leaves this page.

The big purchases we think about for weeks. The small ones we barely notice, and those are the ones that add up. None of this is about guilt. It is about seeing clearly, so your money goes to the things, and the people, you care about.

A small amount, every day

Questions to sit with

  • What did you spend on last week that you'd happily spend on again?
  • What did you spend on that you can't remember?
  • Who would you help if you had a little more set aside?

A practice for today

Write it down, change nothing

For one week, note every spend the moment it happens. Don't cut anything yet. Just look.

At the end of the week, mark the ones that made your life better and keep those. If you can, set a small amount aside to give away.
