Nina earns $3,000 and plans to spend $2,850. Her month has a $150 surplus—yet her planned balance reaches minus $250 before the second payday. Follow each payment date to find the first deficit, then compare an agreed bill-date change with an existing cash buffer.

Which would help Nina first: an agreed due-date change, an existing buffer, or a smaller payment? Explain the constraint you would check without sharing balances or account details.

FICTIONAL EXAMPLE Opening cash $100. Income $1,500 on day 1 and day 16. Payments: $1,400 rent on day 2, $250 utility on day 5, $200 groceries on day 8, $500 spending on day 20, $500 bill on day 25. Ending balance $250; minimum planned balance −$250. Moving the utility to day 17 assumes provider agreement and no added cost. A negative plan is a cash shortfall, not permission to borrow. Actual payment clearing, provider terms and local rules differ. General education, not individualized advice.
