Woman claims ChatGPT helped her clear Rs 20 lakh debt; here's how
Woman claims CharGPT helped her clear Rs 20 lakh debt; here's how In an era of rising personal debt and economic pressure, one Delaware woman turned to artificial intelligence for help—and it worked. Jennifer Allan, a 35-year-old realtor and content creator, managed to pay off $12,078.93 of her $23,000 credit card debt in just 30 days by using ChatGPT. Her approach did not involve complicated investment strategies or financial windfalls. Instead, she relied on daily, practical advice generated by AI. By using ChatGPT to uncover unclaimed funds, identify spending leaks, and adopt cost-cutting habits, Allan achieved a financial breakthrough that many Americans strive for. Her story sheds light on how artificial intelligence can be used beyond the workplace or academic settings, offering a new path for individuals overwhelmed by debt or lacking financial literacy. As reported by Newsweek, her experience also reflects a broader concern, as household debt in the US has now climbed to $18.2 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. With Rs 20 lakh in credit card debt, this mom used ChatGPT to take control Despite a steady income, Allan found herself drowning in debt following the birth of her daughter. Medical emergencies and increased expenses associated with new parenthood forced her to rely more heavily on credit cards. Over time, the debt became unmanageable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'We weren't living lavishly. We were just surviving,' Allan told Newsweek. 'But the debt piled up while I wasn't looking.' Recognising the urgency of her situation, Allan turned to ChatGPT for structured guidance. She committed to a self-designed 30-day challenge, during which she followed a unique AI-generated financial task every day. ChatGPT's action plan: One task at a time Throughout the challenge, ChatGPT suggested simple yet impactful steps. These included: Identifying and cancelling unused subscriptions Reviewing financial apps and consolidating accounts Brainstorming realistic side hustles Creating pantry-only meal plans to reduce grocery costs Reviewing bank statements for overlooked or forgotten funds Allan credited the AI's consistency for keeping her motivated. 'It wasn't some big financial hack,' she said. 'It was the act of facing it every day, of tracking it, talking about it, looking at it. I stopped being afraid of my numbers.' Unclaimed funds make a big difference One of the most significant outcomes of the challenge was the discovery of over $10,000 in unclaimed or forgotten assets. These included a dormant brokerage account and funds sitting idle in lesser-used digital wallets and financial platforms. In addition, the switch to a pantry-based meal plan helped slash her grocery bill by nearly Rs 50,000, enabling her to divert that money toward debt repayment. At the end of the challenge, Allan had successfully paid off $12,078.93—just over half of her total credit card debt. Encouraged by this progress, she is now planning to launch a second 30-day challenge to eliminate the remainder. Importantly, Allan emphasised that the success came not from any secret financial knowledge, but from finally taking consistent and informed action.

Ola Electric sales at 60k units in Q1, sees sustained demand recovery in Q2
Ola Electric is expecting a sustained demand recovery in the second quarter , according to sources, with its Q1 FY26 vehicle registrations reaching nearly 60,000 units, as indicated by VAHAN data. The company, which saw registrations grow 9 per cent month-on-month in June, is projected to post quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of nearly 25 per cent, underlining the gains from its recalibrated sustainable growth efforts, said people tracking the company's performance. "Factoring in deliveries in Telangana and the clearance of pending backlogs from Q4 FY25, Ola Electric is now expected to deliver over 65,000 vehicles in Q1 FY26. This strong delivery performance puts the company well on course to comfortably meet its revenue guidance of Rs 800-850 crore for the quarter," a source said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The person said the growth in June registrations marks a "clear shift in trajectory, signalling that Ola Electric is regaining pace after a tempered Q4 FY25. The recent uptick also suggests sustained demand recovery heading into the second quarter". Mired in aftersales and service issues in the past, Ola Electric's performance in Q1 FY26 may well serve as a turning point in its growth narrative, said the source, adding that pick up in volumes, revenue trending upward, and improvement in gross margins augur well for the company. Live Events Ola Electric's sales growth comes on the back of a four-fold increase in its network, reaching 4,000 stores in December last year. The expansion spanned beyond metros and Tier I and II cities into smaller towns and tehsils. The company had faced multiple challenges in FY25. It had cut around 1,000 jobs across different functions as part of a restructuring exercise to reduce losses. In March, the company's arm, Ola Electric Technologies Pvt Ltd, settled all dues with its erstwhile vehicle registration service provider Rosmerta Group, which had sought to initiate insolvency proceedings against the company. Last year, the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) had ordered a detailed probe into complaints related to alleged "deficiencies" in services and electric two-wheelers manufactured by Ola Electric. The company said that out of 10,644 complaints received from the CCPA, it has resolved 99.1 per cent of the complaints. However, in January this year, CCPA sought additional documents and information from the company regarding the complaints. The company had reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 870 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, while its revenue from operations declined to Rs 611 crore from Rs 1,598 crore in the year-ago period. For FY25, the company reported a net loss of Rs 2,276 crore compared with Rs 1,584 crore in the 2023-24 fiscal. Revenue from operations declined to Rs 4,514 crore against Rs 5,010 crore in FY24.
