Do This Before Next Month

I used to think everything was under control.
I worked hard, covered my bills, and even managed to put something aside.
But somehow, at the end of each month, my account looked like it had been through a war zone.
The numbers never lied; my wallet was leaking, and I had no clue where.
Then I found a ridiculously simple way to expose every little leak, and it didn’t involve budgeting apps, spreadsheets, or willpower.
Once I saw the truth, I couldn’t unsee it, nor will you.

🧵 Your Account Statement is a Treasure Map — If You Know How to Read It
You already have everything you need.
Step one: Pull your transaction history from your online account.
Most banks let you download it as a CSV file (sometimes a PDF). Don’t overthink it, whatever format they give, take it.
Step two: Head over to Claude.ai or Gemini. Not a fan of Claude? GPT-4o does the trick too.
🏁 The Prompt That Does The Work
This is where the magic happens. Copy this and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or any bot you trust:
“You’re a spending coach. Analyze my transactions from the document provided. Your goal is to help me cut my expenses. Pay attention to any recurring payments. List and enumerate 20 specific suggestions ranked from the ones that will help me cut the most to the ones that will help me cut the least. For each suggestion, refer to specific transactions or types of transactions that support the suggestion, and estimate how much someone could trim over the next 12 months if they follow your advice. Make it brief, but specific, use evidence to back up your points. In the end, ask if I want to dive deeper into any of the suggestions.”
That’s it. No budgeting courses. No cutting coffee. No guilt trips.
🔎 Why This Works (Even If You Think You’re Good With Spending)
Your brain lies to you constantly. It’s built to forget the little subscriptions, the “it’s just onetime” purchases, the auto-renewals you swore you canceled.
AI doesn’t forget. It reads every line, finds every pattern, and ranks every dollar you could be holding onto.
It’s brutal, and it works.
⚔️ The Recurring Payment Kill List
Recurring payments are the easiest way to bleed without noticing. AI will hunt them down, but you can start right away:
Scan your statements for anything labeled subscription, monthly, or auto-renewal.
Review apps, services, and platforms you haven’t touched in months.
Dig into your app store history — subscriptions hide there too.
And if you want the AI to do the heavy lifting, you already know the script.
💥 Most People Never Try This, Be The One Who Does
You’re already paying for tools that can expose every leak.
Gemini or GPT-4o can both handle it.
The difference between you and someone who keeps wasting is whether you actually upload that file.
You don’t need another spreadsheet. You need the truth.
And it’s sitting in your transaction history, waiting to be exposed.
