Practical recipes that reduce the stress caused by situations that you may encounter with your everyday money
Welcome to Ollie’s Money Book.
This book is designed for current users — and future users — of You Need A Cash Plan.
Managing everyday money involves more than numbers. There are also practical questions like:
* How do I make it to payday?
* How do I stop overdrafting?
* How do I balance my bank statement?
* How do I handle an irregular paycheck?
* How do I recover after using my credit card again?
Ollie’s Money Book is here to help answer those everyday “How do I...?” questions.
Some recipes provide quick guidance and practical suggestions. Others point you directly to the detailed User Guide topics inside You Need A Cash Plan. In some cases, you may also be referred to Get Real With Your Money for a deeper explanation of the underlying concepts.
Each resource has a different purpose:
| Resource | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Get Real With Your Money | Read the book to learn how your money and a cash plan works |
| You Need A Cash Plan | Use the software to see and plan how you will use your everyday money |
| User Guide | Refer to topics for how to use the software tools and features |
| Ollie's Money Book | Refer to the online book for ideas on how to handle everyday situations using You Need A Cash Plan |
