The spool gang

House rules

• Calm or happy moments only. A logged spend, payday, a streak, a goal ticked off.
• Never on overspend, shortfall, debt or error screens. Money stress gets plain words.
• One critter per screen, and they leave in under 1.2 seconds.
• They peek, they don't perform. No critter ever covers a number or a button.
• Every critter holds a thread somewhere. That's how you know they're ours.
