What is a monthly nut?

Your “monthly nut” is simply what you and your family spend each month. It is made up of three key pieces:

Fixed expenses — These are your family's main “operating expenses” — things like housing, utilities, groceries, going out (occasionally), etc. that let you function on a daily basis.
Variable expenses — These expenses are less predictable and, to some degree, less critical: travel, bigger situational clothing purchases, books, furniture, etc.
Debt — This category includes every kind of debt — credit cards, vehicle, homes, etc.',
