Why Rolling Budgets Change Everything
Back in 2019, I was working with a client who earned commission-based income. Her monthly earnings could swing from €800 to €3,200, and she felt constantly stressed about money management.
Traditional budgets failed her because they assumed steady income. That's when we developed our rolling budget approach – a system that adapts to income fluctuations while maintaining long-term financial goals.
The breakthrough moment: When she realized she could smooth out her irregular income over 90-day periods instead of forcing monthly constraints, her entire relationship with money shifted.
This experience sparked what became NodeEvolve's core methodology. We've since refined these techniques through work with freelancers, seasonal workers, small business owners, and anyone whose income doesn't fit the traditional mold.
