About Soanova
Soanova is for the person who opens a budgeting app for the first time, sees a word like “zero-based,” and quietly decides to deal with it later (been there). I write the version I wish I had back then, which means no jargon, no shame, and no products you do not actually need. If something is not worth your money, I will say so.
