Lazy Money Lab

Your paycheck already knows where it’s going.

Five buckets, set once, and the whole thing runs without you. Type a number and see yours.

  • Essentials · 55%$1,375
  • Guilt-free · 5%$125
  • Debt · 10%$250
  • Savings · 15%$375
  • Investing · 15%$375

Nothing left floating. The percentages don’t care what you make: they work at $150 and at $8,000.

“Only works if you’re making plenty. When your whole check only covers bills this doesn’t work.”The most-liked comment under the reels · 201 likes

Fair, and it’s the first thing the kit deals with. The percentages are a target, not a test you pass. If essentials take 80% of your check today, the tracker’s first job is to show you that number next to 55%, so the next decision is about the biggest line, rent, and not about coffee. At $1,200 a month the buckets are small. They’re still yours, and the habit is the whole point.

Before you hand over an email.

How often will you email me?
About once a week, and nothing at all when I haven’t got something useful. One click to leave, at the bottom of every email.
Do I have to connect a bank account?
No. Nothing here connects to anything. You type numbers into a spreadsheet you own, and I never see them.
Does this work outside the US?
Yes. The split is percentages, so it doesn’t know what currency you’re in. Nothing in the kit is tied to a US bank or a US tax year.
What does it cost?
The kit is free. There’s a $19 Pro Kit if you want the finished system later. You’ll see it on the page the free kit opens on, and you’ll never be billed for anything you didn’t buy.

Set it once. Stop deciding.
