A structured spreadsheet template the Scholar can copy and populate with real numbers. Three sections — assets, liabilities, net worth — with quarter-over-quarter columns and computed change.
Parameters
- — Number of quarters to track (default: 8, i.e. two years).
- — Asset tiers: cash, investments, use.
- — Liability tiers: short, medium, long.
Expected
The Scholar should end the exercise with a filled quarter, a target net worth for the same date next year, and a written note on the two liabilities they would retire first and why.

A working model the Scholar operates to build intuition.
