Lesson 4: The Anti-Anxiety Budget (One Finger Required)

Traditional budgeting feels like punishment.
Gratitopia budgeting feels like permission to breathe.

We use the One Finger Budget.

Just ONE finger.
Point at the jar that matches your situation today.

The three categories:

☝️ 1. KEEP (Guardar)
If anxiety is high → protect future-you.

☝️ 2. USE (Usar)
If bills are screaming → handle what matters without guilt.

☝️ 3. ENJOY (Gozar)
If morale is low → refuel the soul before you break.

That’s it.
Three directions. One finger.

Why this works

Because a nervous system in panic can’t do spreadsheets.
But it can point.

Gratitude moves your nervous system from chaos → clarity.
From identity panic → grounded action.

This budget meets your biology where it actually is.

Ask your body:
“Which one do I need today?”
Point.
Trust it.
