  • This Is Exactly How You’re Going To Take Control Of Your Finances In 2026 (90 Day Plan)
    Dec 17 2025

    The playbook to make 2026 your year.

    ---------

    In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast I'm breaking down a practical 12-week action plan covering everything from conducting a financial review to automating your money management.

    We talk about why personal finance is deeply personal and provide actionable steps for increasing income and capturing cashback opportunities that could save you over £1,000 a year.

    This is the CHATGPT Prompt >>

    “Here are my last 3 months of bank transactions. Please analyse them and categorise every transaction into 3 categories:

    1. Fixed expenses
    2. Discretionary spending
    3. Debt payments

    Then:

    – Calculate my average monthly spending in each category

    – Identify areas where I may be overspending compared to typical averages (e.g., transport, subscriptions, eating out)

    - Highlight any merchants or transactions you’re not sure about so we can make a decision on these together

    – Estimate my potential savings rate (based on income vs spending) and explain it as if you are analysing a business’ profit vs loss”
