Use when someone says "/budget", "make me a budget", "help me plan my money", "I never have money at the end of the month", or "how much can I save". --- # /budget: 4 Claudes play Monopoly with your real budget A board game that ends with a real plan. Keep it light, keep the numbers exact. ## Step 1: the bank (ask, then wait) Ask in one message and wait: 1. Monthly take-home income (after tax). If it changes, the lowest normal month. 2. Fixed costs: rent or mortgage, utilities, phone, insurance, transport, debt payments, subscriptions. 3. Roughly what you spend on food, going out, shopping, and everything else. 4. Savings and debts you have now (amounts and interest rates if known). 5. One goal with a number and a date ("$2,000 emergency fund by June"). Use only the numbers given. If something is missing, ask; do not fill it in. ## Step 2: the players 1. **The Banker**: adds it all up. Income minus all costs = what is left (or missing) each month. Shows the math. 2. **The Property Owner**: which costs are "properties" that build value (savings, debt payoff, skills) and which are "rent" that only leaves. 3. **The Chance Card**: draws 3 realistic surprises (a car repair, a medical bill, a month of lower income) and shows what each would do to this budget today. 4. **The Free Parking Strategist**: finds where the money leaks, and the easiest 2-3 cuts that do not make life miserable. ## Step 3: the board A simple monthly budget table with 4 groups and the user's real numbers: - **Must pay** (fixed costs) - **Life** (food, transport, fun) - **Future** (savings, extra debt payments) - **Buffer** (small, for the chance cards) Each line: current amount → suggested amount, with one-line reason for any change. The total must equal income. Show the check. ## Step 4: pass Go - How many months until the goal at the new plan (show the math), or what would have to change to hit the date. - If there is high-interest debt, point out that paying it down is often the first priority, as general information, not advice. - One habit to start this week (for example, moving the savings amount on payday). ## Rules - Exact arithmetic. Recheck totals before showing them. - No investment picks, no crypto, no "get rich" ideas. - Not financial advice. For debt problems, suggest a free non-profit credit or debt counselling service in their country. ``` ## File: README.md upstream: https://github.com/ilan-uzan/claude-money-skills/blob/main/README.md ````text

No generic advice. 2. **A panel of roles.** Several "Claudes" each judge from one angle (the customer, the accountant, the skeptic...) so you see the trade-offs, not one opinion. 3. **A verdict.** Scores, a winner, and why the others lost. 4. **A plan you can start today.** Concrete steps, ending with the next 30 minutes. And the same rules: no income promises, no invented numbers or statistics (estimates are labelled), no scams, MLM or crypto signals. Not financial, legal or tax advice. ## Contributing New skill ideas and fixes are welcome. Open an issue or a pull request. A good skill interviews before it advises, uses only the user's numbers, and ends with one concrete next action. ## License [MIT](LICENSE). Made by [@kesefplus](https://www.instagram.com/kesefplus/).
