Science-Backed Habit Builder for Financial Success

The 66-Day Habit feature is designed to help you form lasting financial habits, based on research-backed science. Studies show that it takes about 66 days to establish a new habit, and this tool will guide you through that journey, making budgeting a natural part of your daily routine.

💪 And yes, we love to keep you motivated! Click on each day of the habit to receive a little nugget of inspiration—or at least, what we think is inspiring 😂😂. Go ahead, brighten your day!


How It Works

  • Daily Checkmarks: Each time you complete a budgeting task—logging expenses, reviewing your budget, or making adjustments—you’ll earn a checkmark on your 66-day calendar.

  • Habit Formation: As the days progress and you continue to check in, you’re building momentum. By consistently engaging with your budget for 66 days, you're laying the groundwork for a long-term, automatic habit.

  • Tracking Your Progress: Keep an eye on your habit tracker to stay motivated. Every completed day brings you closer to locking in this essential financial behavior as a part of your life.


Why It’s Important

This feature isn’t just for fun—it's grounded in science. Studies have shown that repeating an action for 66 days is a key threshold for making it automatic. The 66-Day Habit helps you stay consistent, ensuring you don’t just build a routine but also a solid financial future. Plus, once you hit the 66-day mark, you'll unlock a badge that recognizes your commitment and achievement.

Take the steps now, and by the end of 66 days, budgeting will become second nature!
