Frequently asked questions

Are these guides financial advice?

No. They are educational content for organizing information and making decisions with more context.

Why discuss privacy?

Because tracking expenses should not force you to share bank credentials if you prefer manual entry.

Which guide should I read first?

If you do not know what you can spend today, start with daily spending. If privacy matters most, start with tracking without a bank connection.
