weekly budget

Weekly spending limit

A weekly budget is a financial plan that allocates income and limits spending over a seven-day period.

Breaking finances into weekly chunks makes tracking easier and catches overspending before it compounds: I give myself a weekly budget of two hundred dollars for groceries and entertainment.

The shorter timeframe suits those who find monthly budgeting too abstract.
