Most budgets fail from neglect, not bad math. A short weekly check-in catches problems while they're small.

- What came in and what went out this week?
- Which category is running ahead?
- Are any bills due in the next two weeks?
- Did anything unexpected happen?
- What's one thing to do differently next week?
