✓ Reader reviewEver reach the end of the month and wonder where your money actually went? Where Did It All Go? helps you build a simple, private AI-powered system that gives you a clearer picture of your spending without forcing you to maintain another budgeting app.
You'll learn how to take transaction exports from your bank or card, clean them up, categorize purchases and identify recurring charges — including subscriptions and price increases that can quietly disappear into your monthly spending.
Once your system is running, it can create a simple weekly money digest showing what you spent, what changed, what keeps repeating and where you may have room to save.
BEFORE YOU START
You don't need a complicated setup. Keep a few things nearby, follow the build once, then let the system do the repetitive work each week.
Build a private system that shows where your money actually goes.
Use the PDF beside you while you build. Follow the setup in order instead of trying to understand the entire system at once.
Download CSV exports from the bank and card accounts you actually use. These files become the raw material for your money system.
Set aside one focused session for the first build. By the end, the goal is to have your first digest rather than another unfinished project.
After setup, add new exports and review your digest. Look at recurring charges, category changes and what may be available to save.
Keep it simple: the goal isn't to obsess over every purchase. Build the system once, review what it shows you, and use that information to make better money decisions.
