I don’t know about it’s accuracy in other areas. Where I am it’s right on the mark.

During the self imposed down time during the early pandemic, having nothing better to do, I took a deep dive into my finances. I came to the weird realization that almost HALF of my income was going to support… My income!

Since then, I have pruned it carefully and now most of my income is going to support me! Nice, eh? Not only am I happier and doing what I want, it has curtailed the smacks on the back of my head from my accountant.
