Blind Budget
Plan without knowing your exact numbers. Give a range for what you're not sure of — you'll still get an honest answer. Precision isn't required for honesty.

What this means
The low end of each band pairs your least income with your highest costs — the honest worst case. The high end pairs your most income with your lowest costs — the honest best case. If you can live inside the low end of the safe-to-spend band, you're covered no matter which reality turns out to be true. Narrowing your ranges over time, not guessing a fake precise number today, is how this band gets smaller.
