Posh-terity Budgeting Guide

The Poshterity Spreadsheet budget categories

We aim to name categories in a general way so that they can apply to people, projects, or organizations. For example: Space is rental of housing or office space. Future is investment in the future such as saving or insurance premiums.

The process

In the first budget column "Money as Usual" (MAU), include your current monthly monetary expense.

MAU income is current monetary income in each category of work. Feel free to replace those terms with specific types of work you do or wish to do (i.e. productive = job, collective = MAN)

We look at each item through the lens of the Pyramid of Abundance. Is there a way to create or tap into a shared source? If not, is this something you can timebank or swap? Other forms of mutual credit or currency? If you need bank money for an expense, can you create or tap into a Common Fund? And of course you can still have or get a job for your money needs.

Here's an hour online workshop, the second half focused on the budget tool
