🗓️ Use AI to plan your life and money

1. What a prompt is

A prompt is just the message you type to an AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. You write it in everyday words, the way you would text a helpful friend. The clearer your message, the better the answer.

2. The 3-part prompt recipe

1. The job: What you want done, in one sentence.
2. The details: Who it is for, what you already know, and anything to avoid.
3. The shape: How the answer should look: length, tone, or format like bullets or a table.

Here is the recipe in action:

The job

Help me make a simple monthly budget.

The details

I take home $3,200 a month, rent is $1,300, and I want to save for a trip next summer.

The shape

A short table with categories and amounts, plus 3 easy ways to save.

Put together, you would paste this:

Help me make a simple monthly budget. I take home $3,200 a month, rent is $1,300, and I want to save for a trip next summer. A short table with categories and amounts, plus 3 easy ways to save.

Then just reply to make it better, like "shorter" or "friendlier". The AI remembers the conversation.

3. One common mistake

Letting AI make the big decisions for you.

Use it to organize your thinking and prepare good questions, then check money, health and legal choices with a real professional.
