What problem does it solve?
Builds a realistic personal or household budget from income and expenses — choosing a budgeting method (50/30/20, zero-based, envelopes), categorizing spending, setting savings and debt-payoff targets, and producing a monthly plan with an emergency-fund and debt strategy. Use this skill when a user asks to "make me a budget", "help me manage my money", "where is my money going", "save more / pay off debt", "monthly budget", or wants a household spending plan.
