Prompt
Using my Finta data, give me a retirement readiness snapshot.

**1. Retirement account inventory**
- List all retirement accounts you can see (401k, IRA, Roth IRA, SEP-IRA, pension, etc.)
- Current balance for each
- Total retirement assets

**2. Growth trend**
- How have my retirement account balances changed over the past 12 months?
- What's the approximate annual growth rate, combining contributions and market returns?

**3. Contribution analysis**
- Based on transaction history, how much am I contributing per month and per year to retirement accounts?
- Am I on track to max out my 401(k) ($23,500 in 2025) or IRA ($7,000)?
- Is there any evidence I might be leaving employer match on the table?

**4. Projection scenarios**
At my current balance and contribution rate, project my nest egg at age [65/67] using three scenarios:
- Current pace (no change)
- Maxing out contributions
- Adding an extra $[X] per month

Use a conservative 6% annual return for all scenarios.

**5. Readiness benchmark**
- Common target: 10× salary saved by retirement age
- Based on what you can see, how am I tracking against that benchmark?
- What's the single most impactful change I could make right now?

Flag clearly where you're estimating vs. working from confirmed data.

The three-scenario design

The projections aren't just one number — they show you the difference between three paths:

  1. Current pace — what happens if nothing changes
  2. Max out contributions — the ceiling of what's tax-advantaged
  3. Add extra — a middle ground you define, showing the compounding impact of a specific increase

At a 6% return, small changes today produce large differences at retirement age. The scenarios make that tangible.

Combine it with other prompts
