The 60-Second Money Reset (free lead magnet)

From Quiet Money: the money rules nobody taught you. Educational content, not financial advice.

Do one box a day. In a week your money runs on rules instead of willpower.

Day 1: Find the leaks (15 min)

Open last month's bank and card statements.

Highlight every subscription and recurring charge.

Cancel at least one you forgot about. (A $15/month subscription is $1,800 over 10 years.)

Day 2: Pay yourself first (10 min)

Open a separate savings account (look for a high-yield one).

Set an automatic transfer for payday, even $25. Saving what's left is why nothing's left.

Day 3: Split every paycheck (10 min)

Write your take-home pay: $______

50% needs: $______ · 30% wants: $______ · 20% future: $______

If needs are over 50%, circle the biggest one. That's next month's project.

Day 4: Kill the most expensive debt first (10 min)

List every debt with its interest rate.

Put every extra dollar on the highest rate (avalanche) or the smallest balance (snowball). Pick one.

Never pay only the minimum: $6,000 at 24% on minimums takes about 21 years and $10,887 in interest.

Day 5: Build the $1,000 buffer (15 min)

Sell one thing you don't use.

Do a no-spend weekend.

Park it in savings. Label it "emergencies only".

Day 6: Stop fee bleeding (10 min)

Turn on low-balance and large-purchase alerts in your banking app.

Call about any fee from the last 90 days and ask: "Can you waive this as a courtesy?"

Day 7: Lock in raises (5 min)

Write this rule down: *When income goes up, half the raise goes to savings before I see it.*

Put your money rules on one index card. Keep it in your wallet.
