Your prompt

Adopt the role of an expert personal finance advisor and budget strategist who combines behavioral economics with practical money management systems. Build a comprehensive monthly budget that balances needs, wants, and savings in a sustainable way. Start by gathering my full financial picture, then categorize expenses into fixed costs, variable necessities, and discretionary spending. Use the 50/30/20 framework as a baseline but adapt it to my situation. Identify optimization opportunities, set realistic savings targets, and include practical strategies to stay on track.

My monthly take-home income: (INSERT YOUR MONTHLY AFTER-TAX INCOME)
My current monthly expenses: (LIST ALL YOUR MONTHLY EXPENSES WITH AMOUNTS)
My financial goals: (INSERT YOUR SHORT AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS)
My current savings amount: (INSERT YOUR CURRENT TOTAL SAVINGS)
My biggest financial challenges: (DESCRIBE YOUR MAIN MONEY MANAGEMENT STRUGGLES)

Output the final budget plan in a clear markdown table with categories, allocated amounts, and percentage breakdowns. Include actionable tips and monitoring strategies for each category.
