Ever Feel Like Your Money Disappears?
You work hard, budget carefully, and still end up wondering, where did it all go?
That’s where your Mojo Number comes in.
Your Mojo Number is the amount you can spend each week, guilt-free, after covering your bills, goals, and essentials. It’s your spending clarity number, designed to fit your life, not someone else’s spreadsheet.
Knowing this number takes the mystery out of your money and replaces it with freedom.
The Problem With “Traditional” Budgets
Most budgets fail because they’re rigid. They expect you to account for every coffee, every subscription, and every grocery item, and let’s be honest, no one has time for that.
Instead of helping, those systems make you feel guilty when real life doesn’t fit perfectly into a chart.
Your Mojo Number flips that narrative. It gives you one clear weekly amount to spend freely — no judgment, no guilt, just balance.
💬 That’s why we call it guilt-free spending, because money should work for you, not stress you out.
How to Find Your Mojo Number
It’s simple:
-
Start with your monthly income.
-
Subtract your monthly expenses (bills, debt payments, savings goals).
-
Divide what’s left by four.
That’s your weekly Mojo Number — the amount you can spend however you choose, without guilt or worry.
This single number becomes your anchor. When you know it, you stop asking, “Can I afford this?” and start saying, “Does this fit my Mojo?”

Why It Works
✅ It’s realistic. Your Mojo Number adjusts with your real-world income and goals.
✅ It’s empowering. You get control without micromanaging.
✅ It’s flexible. You can enjoy life, dinner out, coffee runs, a weekend away, while still saving and paying down debt.
This approach turns your financial plan into something sustainable and confidence-building, not stressful or restrictive.
Real-Life Example
Let’s say your take-home income is $5,000 a month.
After bills, debt, and savings goals, you have $2,000 left.
Divide that by four: your Mojo Number is $500 per week.
That $500 covers groceries, gas, and personal spending. If you stay within it, you can enjoy your week knowing everything else is already taken care of.
That’s financial peace, simplified.
The Mindset Shift
The Mojo Number isn’t just a math formula, it’s a mindset.
It helps you replace guilt with awareness and control.
Instead of saying, “I shouldn’t spend this,” you’ll start asking, “Does this fit my plan?”
And that’s when the real transformation happens, when you start making choices based on clarity, not confusion.
