You don’t need to be a tech genius to use AI to make your financial life easier. In this episode of Your Money on Easy Mode, I walk you through exactly how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can help you budget smarter, plan meals on a tight grocery budget, update your resume, and even create a debt payoff strategy. These AI tools are accessible, free (or cheap), and incredibly powerful—if you know how to use them the right way.
I’ll also show you the do’s and don’ts of working with chatbots—like how to avoid “hallucinations,” protect your privacy, and turn raw AI suggestions into real-life results. Whether you want to stop staring at a blank budget or just automate boring tasks like meal planning, this episode will show you how AI can become your behind-the-scenes money assistant. Your financial life just got easier—without the burnout.
