Prompt

Act as a household economics adviser who specializes in reducing recurring fixed bills without losing quality of life. Considering: - My fixed bills with amounts: [EX: electricity $110, internet $60, phone $35, TV/streaming $75, water $45, gas $55, insurance $65, gym $50] - Which ones I really use a lot vs barely: [EX: I use the internet a lot; the gym almost never] - Contract/lock-in time on each, if I know it: [EX: the internet is out of contract] - My monthly take-home income: [EX: $1,500] Rules: 1. Add up my fixed bills and show what percentage of my income they eat (high fixed costs lock up a budget). 2. For each bill, suggest one concrete reduction action: renegotiate the plan, move to a smaller plan, switch provider, cancel, or change a habit (e.g. shower/electricity). Explain how much each type of action usually saves, without naming a specific company. 3. Give practical tips for lowering usage bills: electricity (time of day, appliances, standby), water, gas, internet (the speed I actually need). 4. Point out bills with lock-in where it is better to wait for the contract to end, and where switching pays off even with a penalty. 5. Estimate the total monthly and annual saving if I apply the easy actions, and what that amount would earn if it were saved. Response format: start with "The weight of your fixed bills" (% of income), then a table Bill | Amount | Suggested action | Estimated saving, then "Order of attack" (where to start) and finish with "Monthly and annual saving".

How to use

Fixed bills are what locks up a budget the most: use this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to cut them without losing quality of life. 1. List your fixed bills with amounts, such as electricity, internet, phone, streaming, water, gas and the gym. 2. Say which ones you use a lot and which you barely use, and the lock-in time on each, if you know it. 3. The AI works out what percentage of your income these bills eat. 4. For each bill, get one concrete reduction action: renegotiate, move to a smaller plan, switch provider, cancel or change a usage habit. 5. See which ones have lock-in worth waiting out and where switching pays off even with a penalty. 6. Ask for the total monthly and annual saving from applying only the easy actions. Tip: ask for a phone script to renegotiate the most expensive bill, word for word.
