These are prompts you can paste straight into your AI (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar). They are built to help you understand your spending, find the leaks, and line your money up with what matters to you. AI works here as a thinking partner, not a decision maker.

I want to analyse my spending using you. Ask me which bank I'm with, then give me clear, step by step instructions for how to download my transaction history as a CSV file from that specific bank. Once I've done that, I'll come back and paste in the next prompt.
Before we go any further, help me get my file ready to share safely. I'm about to give you a CSV of my bank transactions. Tell me exactly which columns are safe to keep, date, description and amount only, and which ones I should delete first, things like account numbers, BSB, card numbers, or my name. Only once I've cleaned it, I'll paste the transactions in.
