budgetless
Spending without constraints
Budgetless describes operating without a defined budget or financial plan.
It can characterize a project, department, or endeavor that lacks allocated funds or spending limits.
The term sometimes implies freedom from fiscal constraints, but more often suggests a problematic absence of financial planning or resources.
The startup operated budgetless for months, burning through investor cash with no accountability.
