Why 90% of People Quit Their Budget After 3 Weeks (And How to Be the 10% Who Don't)

You've tried budgeting before. Downloaded the app, categorized your expenses, set spending limits, and felt really good about yourself for approximately... 3 weeks.

Then you "went over" on groceries. Felt guilty. Stopped logging purchases. Deleted the app a month later.

This isn't a you problem. It's a budget design problem. Most budgets are built to fail. They're too restrictive, too complicated, or too focused on past behavior instead of future decisions.
