About Us

"Kilgore Trout offers net worth trackers, budget trackers, and digital cards designed to help you take control of your money with intention and clarity.

I created these tools from personal necessity. After years of struggling financially, I've used the Kakebo method—a Japanese approach to mindful spending—since 2022. In 2025, I decided to combine that analogue practice with digital tracking to monitor my savings, student loans,  investments and debt payments more comprehensively. These products are the result of that integration.

The name comes from Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. Kilgore Trout is a character who's perpetually broke and struggling—I've been there. The journey hasn't been easy, but having the right tools to face my financial reality made all the difference.

That's what I want to offer you: practical, honest tools for financial awareness that bridge mindful spending with modern tracking."
