The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me build a house deposit saving plan. Target deposit: [amount or percent of a price band] When I'd like to buy: [year] Already saved: [amount] What I can save monthly: [amount] Other big costs around buying I know of: [solicitor, survey, or "not sure"] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Monthly saving needed and the date at my current rate. 2. Ways to close the gap. 3. A simple tracker layout for Google Sheets. 4. Official pages to check for schemes and costs (GOV.UK, MoneyHelper) without saying I qualify. 5. A reminder this is not mortgage advice. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. This is help organising my own numbers and wording, not financial advice; point me to MoneyHelper, GOV.UK or Citizens Advice for guidance, and to a free regulated debt adviser if I'm struggling to pay. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
