This one's a friendly on-ramp if you're just starting to think seriously about where your money goes — practical, easy to apply, no jargon. It won't teach you much you don't already know if you're already tracking a budget, since ninety pages doesn't leave room for nuance. Treat it as a starter, not a finish line.
