    Wealtie budget streaks count how many periods in a row you've kept a promise to yourself. There are two: a budget streak for every period you stay within your budget, and an income goal streak for every period you reach your income goal.

    How to move from a budget spreadsheet to Wealtie, keeping what works

    To move from a budget spreadsheet to Wealtie, carry over your categories and monthly amounts, add your accounts with today's balances, and start logging on the 1st. Old history stays in the spreadsheet; Wealtie doesn't import it, but it exports every transaction as CSV, so your formulas keep working.

    To track an emergency fund in Wealtie, add it as its own account, log each payday deposit as a transfer from your everyday account, and set your monthly budget to take-home pay minus that transfer.

    Budget Health: what the mid-month warning in Wealtie means

    Budget Health, explained: it's Wealtie's mid-month check on your spending pace. It looks at how fast you're spending against your monthly budget and warns you if, at that pace, you'll go over before the month ends. It's on the Free plan, and the point is timing: a warning on the 14th leaves two weeks to adjust.

    How to track cash spending the same way as your card

    To track cash spending, treat your wallet as an account: an ATM withdrawal is a transfer into it, not spending, and each cash purchase is logged from it as it happens. Once a week, count the cash and compare it with the wallet's balance; the difference is spending you forgot.
