Cool, looks great so far. [http://bmndr.com/dlthomas/lunches (thanks for the permission to show that off!)]
It’s a nice example of building up a safety buffer by getting below (or whatever the good side is) the yellow brick road. Which, come to think of it, is the same thing that a plain old spending budget does. So this yellow brick road is just a spending budget with teeth. Once you add a commitment contract, that is.
While I’m in massive self-promotion mode here, this reminds me of my suggestion of a “golden brick road” for deciding how much to spend vs save in general: http://messymatters.com/saving
(Perhaps a more general solution to what you’re trying to solve with your lunch graph?)
