Step 2: How bad does it get?

Pick how rough things are, then say what happens to your money in that case. Each of the four plans keeps its own answers.

In this case, my money looks like this

What still lands in your account each month. Leave blank to use your Income entries: $9,640.28/mo.

Raises everyday living costs right away. Debt payments and contributions stay fixed, and any bill budget you enter is already the final amount.

Leave blank for no recovery date. After 4 months means normal income resumes in month 5.

The forecast updates when you leave a field or press Enter. These three answers belong to High inflation only.

Step 3: What would you change?

Choose the moves you would make first. They carry into more severe plans. Nothing is canceled, sold or changed in your household.

Every figure here is an estimate built from the numbers you entered, and a plan you make here is never carried out for you — no bill is canceled, no account is sold or drawn down, and your household records stay exactly as they are. Nothing here is financial, tax, or legal advice, and no figure is a guarantee of an outcome, a sale price, or an approval. The bankruptcy option models cash flow only: it does not decide whether you qualify, recommend a chapter, or assume any debt is discharged. Talk to a qualified professional before acting on a bankruptcy, a retirement withdrawal, or selling an asset.
