Survival Budget Map

Survival Budget Map is a mobile + web app built for people who are not “optimizing wealth” but just trying to not get evicted or overdraft every week. Instead of pretending you can magically save 20%, it starts from your non-negotiables: rent, utilities, debt minimums, food, transport. You connect your bank and card accounts, and the app auto-categorizes your real spending, then shows a cold, unforgiving picture: how many days until you run out of cash, which bills will likely be late, and what you realistically can cut without destroying your life. It doesn’t lecture you about lattes; it highlights the 2–3 biggest leaks and gives you specific, ugly trade-offs: “If you keep DoorDash at this level, you will be short on rent in 9 days.” It also simulates best- and worst-case months based on your history, so you see how fragile your situation really is. This is not a feel-good budgeting tool; it’s a survival dashboard that tells you exactly how close you are to the edge and what to do this week to not fall off.
