Example Output
To build your budget workbook I need a few things — share whatever you have: 
1. Your transaction data — I found a CSV with transactions from March to May 2025. 
2. Monthly spend targets per category, if you have any. 
3. The time period this covers — I see March 2025 to May 2025. 
4. Your total income for that period (for savings-rate calculation). 
I'll proceed with sensible defaults for anything missing.
