Payday anxiety is real — here's what I built to fix it

Hey everyone,

I'm Shakeera, a nurse and solo founder. I built PayAnchor because I lived the problem.

Working 12-hour shifts and getting paid biweekly, I never knew what was actually safe to spend after bills dropped. I'd check my bank balance, see a decent number, spend confidently, then overdraft when bills hit.
