The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me understand my pension statement. Key figures from the statement: [paste labels and numbers] Employer or provider name: [if shown] What confuses me: [optional] My rough age range: [optional, for context only] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Each figure in plain English. 2. What is a fact today versus a projection. 3. Questions to ask my scheme or employer. 4. What to read on MoneyHelper next. 5. A clear note that this is not advice to transfer or stop contributions. 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.
