Section 1
The big idea
AI is great at setting up saving plans. Tell it what you want, how much it costs, and how much money you get — and it tells you exactly how long to save and how much per week.
Some examples
- 'I want a $150 game. I get $20 a week. How long?'
- 'I want to save for a $300 bike by my birthday in 5 months. How much per week?'
- 'I have $50 saved. I want $200. I get $15 a week from chores. How long?'
- 'I want to split my allowance: 50% save, 50% spend. Make me a tracker.'
Try it!
Pick something you want to save up for. Make a plan with AI. Stick to it for one month. See how it feels to actually save toward something.
