WHO THIS IS FOR
Furnishing one room at a time, in the order the money allows.
If either of these is you, the workbook settles the order before the money arrives.
Three rooms, one budget
Every room feels urgent when it is the one you are thinking about. Rank them by the money instead of the mood.
A refund with no plan attached
The window opens once a year. Decide where it goes before it lands, or it goes nowhere.
WHAT YOU GET
One Excel workbook, live formulas.
Built as an Excel workbook (.xlsx), not a browser-based spreadsheet.
