Example showing a $2,147 bank balance becoming a $427 RealSpend number
The problem

$2,147 in your account doesn't mean you have $2,147 to spend.

Some of that money already belongs to rent, utilities, groceries, gas, savings, debt payments and the buffer you promised yourself you wouldn't touch.

Your balance tells you what's there. RealSpend tells you what's actually yours to spend.

That one distinction can completely change the next spending decision.
