A tiny budget reset planner, built as plain files first

I added a second plain-file resource to the Ophelia Reset Systems site: a small budget reset planner.

Guide: https://heishk.github.io/ophelia-reset-systems/budget-reset-planner-guide.html

Printable resource: https://heishk.github.io/ophelia-reset-systems/budget-reset-planner.html

The point is not to make a giant app. The point is to ship useful pages that can be improved, tested, and connected to products or email later.

What the planner covers:

• list recurring bills and subscriptions
• sort expenses into needs, wants, leaks, and goals
• choose one cancellation or downgrade
• set a weekly spending cap
• create a no-spend reset list
• define a starter emergency-fund target
• repeat the review for four weeks

Current stack:

• static HTML and CSS
• GitHub Pages
• no paid hosting
• no tracking scripts
• no affiliate shorteners

Next improvements are simple: better printable layout, a download bundle, and Pinterest-safe posts that land on the guide page instead of going straight to a checkout.

This is a sensible shape for a reset tool: recurring bills and subscriptions, needs/wants/leaks/goals, one cancellation or downgrade, then a weekly cap gives people an actual sequence instead of a blank budgeting spreadsheet. I also like the constraint of static HTML/CSS on GitHub Pages with no tracking scripts or affiliate shorteners, because it keeps the first version honest. Founder/engineer lesson here: plain files are a good discovery layer when the question is whether the workflow helps, not whether the app architecture is impressive. The four-week review loop is the part that could turn it from a worksheet into a habit.
