Start from
An ordinary week
Phone scrolling, a coffee on the way in, takeout, streaming and a gym membership.
A subscription stack
Two video services, music, cloud storage, news, apps and a meal kit, each small on its own.
Screens
Social apps, evening TV, news feeds, video sites and games. Mostly free, mostly time.
Small daily spends
Coffee, lunch out, snacks, rideshares and delivery fees. None of them feel like much.
A blank ledger
