Can I afford it?
Whether a purchase or a hire leaves enough cash, and what that answer assumes.
Advisor → Can I Afford It?
Enter an amount and whether it is one-off or recurring. The answer runs it through a cash scenario and compares the low point against your cash floor — the balance below which you would rather not go, set in settings and defaulting to $5,000.
Three verdicts:
- Affordable — cash stays above the floor throughout.
- Tight — cash dips below the floor but stays positive.
- Not affordable — cash goes negative, and the month it happens is named.
Every answer lists the assumptions it used and shows the month cash bottoms out, because "yes" without a floor and a date is not advice.
