  • Online Income Distribution Calculator

    We have created an online Income Distribution Calculator with exact percentages distributed into 4 accounts.

    This approach is based on the principle of income separation, which promotes better personal budgeting and financial management. Instead of depositing all your income into a single account, you divide it among four distinct account types. This method simplifies the management of your personal finances, making it both easier and more practical to track spending, save, and achieve your financial goals.

    Here are the key features:

    Distribution Breakdown:

    🌱 Growth Account (25%) – For investments and growing wealth. One effective option is a tax-free unit trust account.
    🛡️ Stability Account (15%) – Emergency fund (should cover 4 to 5 months of your essential living expenses). A high-interest savings account is an excellent choice for this purpose.
    🏠 Essential Account (50%) – Day-to-day living expenses. This account acts as your primary current or salary account, handling routine costs such as rent, groceries, utilities, transportation, and other necessary expenditures.
    🎉 Rewards Account (10%) – Entertainment, holidays and experiences account.

    App Features:

    • Modern, responsive design with gradient backgrounds and smooth animations
    • Real-time calculation as you type
    • Enter key support for quick calculation
    • Professional currency formatting
    • Visual fund cards with hover effects and color coding
    • Mobile-friendly responsive layout
    • Input validation to ensure positive values only

    Visual Design:

    • Clean, professional interface with glassmorphism effects
    • Color-coded fund categories for easy identification
    • Animated results display with smooth scrolling
    • Hover effects and micro-interactions for better user experience

    The calculator automatically updates the distribution amounts based on your income input, making it easy to see exactly how much should go to each fund. The design is both functional and visually appealing, perfect for personal finance planning.

  • Profit First, a cash management system by Mike Michalowicz

    In his book Profit First, Mike Michalowicz introduces a cash management system that prioritizes profitability and financial discipline by restructuring how businesses allocate revenue. His method emphasizes using multiple bank accounts to manage cash flow effectively.

    The Profit First Formula

    Traditional accounting follows this approach:

    Sales – Expenses = Profit
    (Profit is whatever remains after expenses.)

    However, Profit First flips this formula:

    Sales – Profit = Expenses
    (Profit is taken first, forcing expenses to adjust accordingly.)

    By allocating profit before expenses, businesses ensure they remain financially healthy, operate within their means, and avoid unnecessary spending. The system also leverages behavioral psychology to encourage discipline, making it easier to build long-term financial stability.

    Key Features of the Profit First System

    1. Multiple Bank Accounts for Cash Flow Management
      • Separates funds into designated accounts (Income, Profit, Owner’s Pay, Taxes, and Operating Expenses) to control spending.
    2. Profit Allocation First
      • Ensures businesses prioritize profitability instead of treating profit as an afterthought.
    3. Fixed Percentage Allocations
      • Revenue is distributed into different accounts using predefined percentages to enforce financial discipline.
    4. Twice-Monthly Fund Transfers
      • Money is allocated on specific dates (e.g., 10th and 25th) to create a structured cash flow rhythm.
    5. Expense Constraint to Avoid Overspending
      • Business expenses must be covered with what’s available in the Operating Expenses (OPEX) Account, ensuring efficiency.
    6. Separate Profit & Tax Accounts at Different Banks
      • Reduces the temptation to dip into savings and prepares for tax obligations without surprises.
    7. Quarterly Profit Distributions
      • A portion of the Profit Account is withdrawn every quarter as a reward for the business owner, reinforcing financial success.

    This system forces profitability by design, ensuring businesses remain financially healthy while growing sustainably.

    The Five Core Bank Accounts

    1. Income Account
      • This is the main account where all business revenue is deposited.
      • Acts as a holding account before funds are distributed to other accounts.
    2. Profit Account
      • A portion of every deposit (typically 1-10% initially) is transferred here.
      • This is not for expenses—it’s a reward for business owners and ensures profitability.
      • Quarterly, a portion of this is taken as an owner’s bonus.
    3. Owner’s Compensation Account
      • Pays the business owner’s salary.
      • Ensures the owner is fairly compensated before business expenses are deducted.
    4. Tax Account
      • Holds funds for tax obligations (e.g., corporate tax, income tax, VAT).
      • Prevents surprises during tax season.
    5. Operating Expenses (OPEX) Account
      • Covers rent, payroll, utilities, and other operational costs.
      • Helps control overspending by working with what’s available.

    Additional Accounts (Optional)

    • Savings or Emergency Fund Account – For unexpected business expenses.
    • Inventory or Materials Account – If the business has significant inventory costs.
    • Marketing Account – For ad spend and promotional activities.
    Account NamePurposeKey Notes

    Key Principles of Profit First Banking

    • Allocate money using fixed percentages (e.g., 1-10% for profit, 15-30% for taxes, etc.).
      • By setting aside a percentage for profit first, businesses guarantee they are making money instead of hoping for leftovers.
      • Instead of reacting to financial problems, businesses have structured cash flow, ensuring they have funds for every key financial need.
      • Taxes are not an afterthought—they are proactively covered using a fixed allocation, eliminating year-end surprises.
      • Since only a fixed percentage is allocated to operating expenses, businesses naturally adjust their spending to what is available, preventing financial waste.
    • Transfer funds twice a month (e.g., on the 10th and 25th) to control spending/cash flow..
    • Use separate bank institutions for Profit and Tax accounts to reduce easy access.
    • Start small and adjust percentages over time, even if it’s just 1% for profit, and gradually increase to improve financial health.

  • Ubuntu – Extend LVM partition and disk

    Extending an LVM (Logical Volume Manager) partition and disk in Ubuntu involves the following steps:

    df -h
# display all disks and partitions
sudo lsblk

# Extend sda 3 partition to use all available space
sudo growpart /dev/sda3

# Extend the PV (Physical Volume) where the LVM disk is located
sudo pvresize /dev/sda3

# Extend LV Disk
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

# Extend filesystem in LV to make disk space available
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

  • Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) unattended-upgrades

    The purpose of unattended-upgrades is to keep the computer current with the latest security (and other) updates automatically.

    sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
