Zero-Based Budgeting Logic FAQs

Question 1

What is the core principle of the Zero-Based Budgeting skill?

Accepted Answer

The core principle is 'Give every dollar a job,' which involves allocating all available income to specific categories until the 'Ready to Assign' amount reaches exactly zero.

Question 2

How does this skill handle credit card transactions?

Accepted Answer

It implements logic where spending on a credit card automatically moves funds from an expense category to a specific credit card payment category, ensuring debt is always covered by cash on hand.

Question 3

Is this skill suitable for backend development?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It provides standardized Go-based implementation patterns for calculating balances, validating allocations, and managing database constraints for financial data.

Question 4

Does this skill support month-to-month rollovers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the implementation logic calculates 'Available' balances by summing all historical allocations and subtracting all historical spending, allowing unspent funds to carry forward automatically.

Question 5

How is 'Ready to Assign' calculated in this model?

Accepted Answer

It is calculated as the sum of all account balances (including negative credit card balances) minus the total amount allocated across all categories.
