The CLARITY Framework™ pillar
C - Cash Flow
Understand the money moving in and out.
Cash Flow organizes income, spending, savings capacity, emergency reserves, and the everyday rhythm of money. It helps answer whether the plan has enough monthly oxygen before bigger strategies are added.
Planning questions
What this pillar helps answer
- Am I spending more than I earn each month?
- How much can I safely save or invest?
- Which expenses are fixed, flexible, or temporary?
- What cash-flow pressure could disrupt the plan?
Framework context
How it connects
