Where does all my money go?

Save your sleuthing for something cooler than solving money mysteries.

Defeat the black hole of spending.

When you get your W-2 every year and look at the line that shows your gross income, it always makes you pause. It seems like a lot of money, but where does it all go?

Imagine knowing your average monthly grocery spending down to the cent, and having all the data you need to make informed financial decisions. You can finally hone in to buy that dream house, pay off that last debt, max out your retirement savings (or do all three!).
