Why Seniors Might Love This Method
You might be wondering, “Is this really for me? I’m not working anymore, my income is pretty fixed, and I’ve already been through decades of paying bills.”
Here’s the thing: the zero-sum method is actually perfect for seniors because:
-
It gives peace of mind. You’ll know exactly where your money is going every month, so there are fewer surprises.
-
It makes fixed incomes stretch further. If you’re living on Social Security, a pension, or retirement savings, this system ensures that nothing slips through the cracks.
-
It builds confidence. You don’t need fancy apps or complicated spreadsheets. A pen, paper, or even envelopes will do the job.
And the best part? It’s flexible. Life happens—grandkids visit, the roof needs fixing, or you want to take a short trip. With zero-sum budgeting, you can adjust and reassign your dollars without throwing your whole plan off balance.
