๐Ÿ“Š ROLLUP (estimated, awaiting confirmation)

Estimated total monthly OUT (fixed + variable, ex health/discretionary)~$5,215 / mo๐ŸŸก MED
Estimated monthly NET (after taxes)~$8,500โ€“$12,000 / mo๐ŸŸก MED
Estimated monthly SURPLUS~$3,335 to $6,835 / mo๐ŸŸก wide variance
Why TBD on income side: Sam is fully self-employed. Earned income is variable month-to-month across Same Solutions / Marketplace / odd jobs. Expense baseline depends on health insurance (full ACA premium since Sam is self-pay). Real cash flow baseline requires 3 months of bank statements + the revenue tracker populated.

๐ŸŽฏ Next Step

Sam captures 3 months of bank statements (phone pic, redact account numbers). Planning chat categorizes income + fixed + variable. This single 1โ€“2 hour session moves cash-flow confidence from MED estimates to HIGH actuals and unlocks every other decision (dad's garage IRR, path forward primary pick, 401k bridge closure target, etc.).
