Sample

This is sample data, not your prompt. Pro unlocks this higher-stakes Playbook. On Free Playbooks you can still copy the assembled prompt into any AI.

Sample input

We have four debts: a $9,800 credit card at 24.9% with a $260 minimum, a $2,100 card at 0% until October with a $70 minimum, a $17,500 car loan at 6.4% with a $390 payment, and a $6,200 student loan at 5.2% with a $95 payment. Our reliable monthly surplus is $1,250. We have $9,000 in cash and want to keep at least $7,500. A $1,200 car repair is likely within three months. I prefer the avalanche method. My partner wants the $2,100 card gone first and wants $200 of monthly personal spending protected.
