ChatGPT Built a Budget for Me ASAP, but It Has Several Limitations
ChatGPT can help you set budget categories, spending limits and savings goals. But it still leaves much to be desired. Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET Artificial intelligence can help you manage your money in lots of different ways. It can show you how to cut grocery costs, save for a vacation and even negotiate your bills. But just because it can doesn't necessarily mean it succeeds. And with something as important as your finances, it's essential to know where it falls short. Last year, I asked ChatGPT to help me create a budget, a task that can be tedious and overwhelming. It was useful in some ways, but not so great in others. I tried the experiment again this year, and while I noticed minor improvements -- mainly that icons and improved formatting made the answers more visually appealing -- the overall result was still mixed. Here's how it went. Read more: How to Create and Master Your 2025 Budget Building a budget with ChatGPT These are the steps I took to test ChatGPT's budget-making abilities. 1. State your monthly income, expenses and savings goals To get started, you'll need to give ChatGPT your monthly financial numbers: take-home income, expenses and savings goals. I already have a budget I made using Rocket Money, so to see how ChatGPT builds a budget from scratch, I had it create one for a hypothetical person. My prompt: "My monthly income after taxes is $3,500. Each month, I spend $1,000 on rent, $15 on renters insurance, $100 on utilities, $300 on my car payment, $150 on car insurance, $100 on gas, $200 on my student loans, $40 on my phone bill, $300 on groceries, $100 on personal items and $100 on dining out. I'd also like to put some money toward savings." The result: Screenshot by Kelly Ernst/CNET ChatGPT ran the numbers and told me I'd have $1,095 left each month. I'd intentionally left my savings goals vague to see what ChatGPT would recommend. It suggested ways to allocate this amount toward savings, including building an emergency fund, contributing to retirement savings, paying down debt and making extra student loan payments. It also showed me how I could split my $1,095 between these savings buckets. 2. Clarify and adjust I'd also intentionally left some spending categories out of my initial prompt -- something someone creating a budget for the first time might easily do -- to see if ChatGPT would catch them. It didn't. So I asked it to help me. My prompt: "Have I missed any other common budget categories?" The result: Screenshot by Kelly Ernst/CNET ChatGPT generated a list of potential additions and asked if I wanted it to create a revised budget with placeholders for these categories. The revised budget, including estimates for savings goals and budget categories ChatGPT recommended adding, left me with $5 remaining. That's not a ton of wiggle room, but I could always ask the AI to tweak things to give me a bigger cushion. Pro tip To avoid forgetting expenses, review your bank and credit card statements from the past 12 months to spot your regular monthly, seasonal and annual expenses. 3. Import the data into a spreadsheet There are several ways to track your spending and monitor how well you're sticking to your budget, including budgeting apps and the old paper-and-pencil method. One easy -- and free -- method is to create a spreadsheet, which ChatGPT can also help you with. My prompt: "Create a Google spreadsheet for my budget." The result: ChatGPT created some code I could copy and paste into Google Sheets. Screenshot by Kelly Ernst/CNET It also provided instructions on how to format it. Screenshot by Kelly Ernst/CNET I followed these instructions, but all the data showed up in column A of the spreadsheet, and I couldn't figure out what to do next. I had to ask ChatGPT how to fix this. Screenshot by Kelly Ernst/CNET It was more work than I was hoping to do, and I still had to make some formatting changes to the spreadsheet so it was easier to read. But in the end, I did have a working budget I could adjust as needed. Pros and cons of creating a budget with ChatGPT Using ChatGPT to create a budget was fairly simple. It required some fine-tuning on my part, but overall, the AI's recommendations made sense and were easy to understand. That said, it's not for everyone, and it has its pitfalls. Here's what you should keep in mind. Pros It's free. ChatGPT doesn't cost anything, and neither does Google Sheets if you choose to move your budget numbers there.

You're free to dive deeper into any answer, but you can also use it to create a basic budget to get started. It can help you customize your budget. ChatGPT can suggest everything from how to save on utilities to how much to put toward retirement at various ages. But you need to ask it to do so. It probably won't offer these tips unprompted. Cons Its answers are only as good as your prompts. If you don't word your prompts correctly or you provide incomplete or inaccurate information, ChatGPT's answers won't be as helpful as they could be. For instance, when I omitted some common budget categories, it identified them only when I asked it to. It didn't automatically alert me that I may have left something out. Many budgeting apps offer preset categories you can use as guidance.

And if you move your budget to a spreadsheet, you'll need to manually track each transaction and sort it into the right category, which can be tedious. It's not suitable for ongoing budget maintenance. ChatGPT can generate your budget, but it won't track your transactions. And if you want to adjust your budget categories, you'll need to do it manually on your spreadsheet or ask the bot to generate a new budget. (Thankfully, ChatGPT saves your previous chats if you're logged in, so you can ask it to tweak the information in your initial chat rather than having to enter everything all over again.) If you want ongoing help managing and maintaining your budget, you're better off with a budgeting app. ChatGPT can generate your budget, but it won't track your transactions.

If the initial answer ChatGPT gives you is confusing, seems incomplete or doesn't feel right to you, ask it to restate it. Your information is not confidential. Anything you tell ChatGPT could be used to train the AI model, which means it could become publicly available. In addition, ChatGPT is susceptible to hackers and information leaks and doesn't have the security measures you'll find with reputable budgeting apps. You can disable chat history to prevent your info from being used to train the bot, but OpenAI still saves it for up to 30 days. Pro tip Don't give ChatGPT any sensitive financial details, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. If you wouldn't want to see certain personal information published online, don't enter it into your prompts. Tips for using ChatGPT to build a budget AI is powerful, but you need to know how to use it for the best results. Here are some best practices for creating a budget with ChatGPT. Double-check everything. Make sure your prompts have the correct information and that ChatGPT's answers make sense. Do the numbers add up? Do the recommendations seem reasonable? A quick Google search of your question can help you compare ChatGPT's advice against reputable sources. Make sure your prompts have the correct information and that ChatGPT's answers make sense.

For instance, you can ask it how to reduce your phone bill, boost your income or free up more money for savings. Adjust. Revisit your budget regularly to make sure it's still serving you well. If anything changes -- for example, you get a side hustle that brings in more income -- update your budget to reflect that. Verdict: Should you use ChatGPT to build a budget? While ChatGPT can help you create a budget, it has plenty of limitations, and there are easier and more effective ways to do it. If you're new to budgeting, simply Googling "basic budget" will give you lots of template ideas and tips. If you'd like more guidance, budgeting apps are designed to do a lot of the work for you and help you stick to your budget on an ongoing basis. That said, ChatGPT can help you with some of the basics you need as you tweak your budget, such as suggesting ways to trim common expenses and how much you should save each month for a particular savings goal. However, you should double-check any advice it gives you on more complex financial topics, such as how much you should put toward retirement for your personal situation.

Theresa Nist fires back at ‘Golden Bachelor' Gerry Turner's claim they divorced over his cancer
Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner's journey came to an end — but not because of his health battle. The reality star who found love with Turner on Season 1 of 'The Golden Bachelor' revealed that the pair 'absolutely' didn't split over his cancer diagnosis. 'It was a zero factor, zero. Absolutely. I was just so surprised that he even said that,' Nist said on Thursday's episode of 'The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast.' 'I knew about the cancer a long time ago. And the way Gary presented it to me was that, 'The doctor said that I'm going to die of old age before this cancer gets to me.'' Advertisement 5 Theresa Nist speaks about about her marriage to Gerry Turner ending. almost_famouspodcast/Instagram 'He bluffed it off, like it really wasn't that important,' she continued. 'And he had no symptoms, and he still doesn't. So we never had a conversation that said, 'Oh my gosh, you're sick. I can't stay with you now. I have to leave.' That never happened.' Turner and Nist first got engaged at the end of 2023 on the show before saying 'I do' on a TV special in January 2024. But by April of that year, the exes announced in an interview with 'Good Morning America' that they were divorcing. Advertisement 5 Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner. Disney via Getty Images In December 2024, Turner revealed he had been diagnosed with a blood cell cancer, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, claiming it played into their split. The reality star also noted that he and Nist each wanted to live close to their families in different states. 'When you are hit with that kind of news and the shock wears off after a few days or a few weeks and you regroup and you realize what's important to you, that's where you start to move forward,' Turner told People. 'And I hope that people understand in retrospect now that that had a huge bearing on my decisions and I think probably Theresa's as well.' Advertisement 5 Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner cuddle in bed. goldengerryturner/Instagram 'They interviewed him the day before they interviewed me,' Nist continued on the podcast. 'And right before my interview, they contacted me, and they said, 'Hey, we want to talk to you right now, because Gerry just came out and said that his illness was the reason you broke up.' And I go, 'What?' I said, 'No, it wasn't that.' There was zero conversation about that being in it.' Although, at the time, the New Jersey resident felt maybe Turner believed what he was saying. 'If that was the reason, it was in his mind only, never discussed as a reason. He said it was a factor that weighed heavily into my decision. And I would imagine Theresa's, too,' Nist confessed. 'He just imagined. But it had nothing to do with it. Nothing. I would have never left my husband over in illness. I stayed with my husband, Billy. I mean, for years he was sick, and he passed away at home. He was in hospice. I mean, it was really pretty bad. But I would never leave … That's just not me. That wouldn't happen.' Advertisement 5 Gerry Turner with his new partner. goldengerryturner/Instagram Turner, meanwhile, revealed in April, per TMZ, that he's dating a retired school teacher named Lana, who also lives in Indiana. 'I really am happy for him,' Nist, who's also dating, stated. 'And if he had to find his person by going this circuitous route, then he did, then it was successful. He found someone that really suits him, and that's wonderful. So I think it worked out the way it was supposed to work out.' In September, the finance whiz made it clear she had no hard feelings toward Turner. 'So Gerry and I have spoken,' Nist exclusively told The Post in September 2024. 'We don't speak regularly. I would say I wish him all the best, and I can see that he has so many friends, and I'm so happy for him that he does.' 5 Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist on their wedding day. Disney 'I truly hope he finds his person,' she added, 'because he wants that, and he deserves that, and I'm rooting for him. I'm in his corner.' At the time, Nist shared what she was looking for in her perfect suitor. Advertisement 'Sense of humor,' she detailed. 'Let's laugh together. Smart. Somebody smart. And then I have to be physically attracted to the person, so there has to be chemistry. And that's something that you can not define, it's undefinable. You just either are attracted to someone, or you're not.' Nist noted, 'It's just the ability to have fun together and to support each other, make each other laugh, and have each other's backs.'
