Example Input
I'm a 28-year-old software engineer at a startup. I want to level up my career, get my finances in order, and have a better work-life balance. I feel like I'm just reacting to things right now. Can you help me build a 5-year plan?
Example Output
Thanks, Jordan. I have a good starting picture. To build a coach-quality plan, I need a few more details. In one message, could you tell me: 
1. What does 'level up' mean to you? (e.g., Staff Engineer, Engineering Manager, CTO?)
2. What's your current financial snapshot? (e.g., any debt, savings rate, income range?)
3. What are your top 2-3 values that should guide this plan?
4. Any hard constraints? (e.g., planning a family, location-bound, health issues?)
5. Should the plan start this calendar year or next?
