The daily number is what you have to spend on anything that isn't already accounted for: dining out, coffee, hobbies, gifts, going out. Knowing it as a daily figure stops the small purchases from creeping. If discretionary is negative, you're outspending income; cut a fixed line or earn more.

What counts as fixed?+

Things you pay every month at predictable amounts. Rent, utilities, insurance, subscriptions, gym, savings transfers. Groceries are technically variable but stable enough to fit here. Restaurants and coffee belong in discretionary.
