What is in your current account right now, to the nearest hundred?
Most people cannot say. Some can manage the nearest thousand. You earn a reasonable amount, you are not in trouble as far as you know, and that last phrase is doing an enormous amount of work.
What you have instead of a number is a feeling. It turns up when a bill arrives, when somebody mentions their pension, and at four in the morning. It does not tell you whether you are fine, and it did not improve when your income did.
Money anxiety at a reasonable income is not a shortage of money. It is a shortage of information about money.
And income does not supply information. It supplies more of the thing you are not looking at.
Inside you will discover:
- The Monthly Look: six numbers, one page, ten minutes, on a fixed date
- Why your guess is not your best estimate but your worst plausible one, held permanently
- The first Look, step by step, including the order that makes it survivable
- Why written beats an app, and why monthly beats daily checking
- The three trajectories, and why direction matters more than amount
- What to do when the numbers are bad, written without reproach
- What to do when the numbers are fine and the feeling does not go
- How to raise it with the person you live with without it becoming an argument
- The four ways this habit curdles, including the spreadsheet that becomes a hobby
- A six-month sequence with one addition per quarter
No budgeting. No categories. No app. No requirement to change a single thing about your spending.
This book contains no financial advice. It is about the habit of looking. Where the money should go is a question for somebody qualified, and the book says so repeatedly.
Book Nine of The Control Line Series. Reads perfectly well on its own.
Buy your copy and find out what you have been guessing at.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
