A simple plan for your paycheck.

Waiting for a dip: someone holds cash until prices \"feel\" lower. When the market drops, the news is scary, so they keep waiting. When it recovers, it already feels too late. Months go by with the money sitting in cash.
On a schedule: someone puts in $500 every month, automatically. When prices drop, that $500 simply buys in at the lower price, and that money grows the most when the market recovers.

Questions

Who is it for?: Anyone with a paycheck who wants a clear plan. It's built with people in their first few jobs in mind, because that's when all of this shows up at once, but the steps work at any stage.
Do I need to link my bank account?: No. You type in rough numbers, and they're stored only in your own browser. Your exact answers are never sent anywhere.
Can I come back to it later?: Yes. Your answers stay saved in this browser. To pick up on another device, use "Copy a link to my plan" at the bottom of the Plan tab.
How exact are the numbers?: They're estimates. Take-home pay uses 2026 tax rules and can differ from your real paycheck by a few percent, and the future assumes steady returns.
What if I don't know my numbers?: Use the typical amounts already filled in. They're based on your city, and we estimate your take-home pay for you.
Is this financial advice?: No. It shows a common order that many guides suggest and explains why, so you can make the call yourself.
