Spendable tips

Using your spendable should feel easy; however, it's normal for things to take some getting used to. Here are a few tips to help you maintain your spendable:

Create a new account

Set-up a new spendable account that is separate from your committed expenses.

Set-up an automated transfer

Automate a weekly transfer of your spendable recommended by Winton to your spendable account.

Double-check your expenses

Watch out for any committed expenses accidentally coming out of your spendable account. It's easy to forget and use your spendable account to pay for your fuel at the gas station, but it will reduce your balance and could make you feel like you don't have enough money to get through the week. 😔

Say no to credit cards

Never use a credit card for spendable expenses! Large purchases (like flights, furniture, etc.) that you typically use credit for are considered short-term goals and kept separate from your spendable.

Money found basics

Money found is calculated using your income, spendable and committed cash flow, which is on the Home page of your Winton account.

Money found = income - spendable - committed expenses

Every dollar of your money found should have a job, which will help you avoid overspending and encourage you to succeed with your spendable.

Putting your money found to work

How you allocate your money found depends on how much was found by Winton. Here are some general guidelines on how to use your money found:

Less than $300

Divide money found between a short-term goal and emergency savings.

Between $300-$600

Allocate a minimum of $150 towards both short-term goals and emergency savings, and then put the rest toward future savings.

Greater than $600

Allocate a minimum of $200 towards both short-term goals and emergency savings and then divide the rest between future savings and debt repayment.

|| Note: The money found allocation guide may differ from the advice you received from your starred connection (advisor or financial professional), and that's okay. You should follow their advice or ask whether this guide is right for you.
