This episode, Rascal went on a financial date — but not with Fetch. With AI. 😏
In this playful and surprisingly insightful episode, we explore what happened when one of us fed our real-life budget tracker to ChatGPT and asked it to analyze our finances.
You’ll hear:
• Why we decided to test AI as a financial thought partner
• What budget "secrets" Rascal spilled to the robot
• How AI did with spending cuts (spoiler: don’t touch our ice cream 🍦)
• How helpful it was for retirement forecasting, savings goals, and ETF research
• Where AI miscalculated — and why human oversight still matters
We also talk about the real-world emotional experience of using AI in a deeply personal way — especially as elder millennials who remember a pre-internet childhood.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a robot can help you FIRE faster, want a laugh, or are just curious about how tech could support your money mindset, this episode is for you.
Bonus mentions: Rascal shares other AI tools out there (like CLEO and YNAB) and whether they'd go on a second financial date with AI again. Fetch is only slightly jealous.
