How to Stop Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck with a Month-Ahead Buffer
The "One-Month Ahead" strategy is Kay's signature method for achieving financial peace. It means using last month's income to pay this month's bills.
Steps to Get Ahead:
- Assess Your Situation: List every monthly bill and calculate the total.
- Find "The Gap": Subtract expenses from income; this leftover is your buffer money.
- Keep it Separate: Put this in a High-Yield Savings Account (HYSA) so it earns interest and stays out of reach.
