The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan a money talk with my partner. Topic: [spending, debt, savings goal, shared bills, other] What I want us to agree: [outcomes] What usually goes wrong: [raised voices, avoidance, blame] Numbers I can bring: [optional] Time we can set aside: [e.g. 30 minutes] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A timed agenda. 2. Opening lines that don't sound like an attack. 3. Ground rules for the talk. 4. A simple written agreement template we can fill in at the end. 5. When to bring in MoneyHelper guidance or a free debt adviser instead of solving it alone. 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.
