Build the month's budget from notes you already made
Works with any AI
What it's for It sorts the month's income and spending into a list, without telling you how to spend.
What you get A list for the month: what comes in, what goes out, and what had no figure.
Example reply
In - Wages - Extra job
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me build this month's budget from the notes I paste. I want three blocks: what comes in, what goes out, and what has no figure. Do not tell me what to spend or what to cut. If a line has no amount, keep the label and leave the amount blank. This does not replace the person who keeps your books. Notes for the month: [paste your written income and spending here]
The month slips by and the spending stays in loose notes.

You write
Income is wages plus one extra job. Outgo is rent, power, and groceries. Groceries have no figure.
You get back
