I read them. I followed the advice. I&#8217;m now averaging a 16% return on my investments. In other words, ChatGPT has genuinely helped me make better financial decisions. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-use-chatgpt-ai-chatbot-beginners-guide\/\"><strong>How to use ChatGPT: A beginner&#8217;s guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So when I saw that OpenAI had launched a personal finance experience inside ChatGPT, my ears perked up. <\/p>\n<p>Until now, like many people, I&#8217;ve handled a lot of my money management manually. I check balances, track debts, review recurring charges, monitor subscriptions, and try to make sense of everything using spreadsheets and banking apps. <\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT Finances, however, promises to make that easier &#8212; by letting me securely connect my financial accounts through Plaid, including my investment accounts. Once everything syncs, ChatGPT can answer questions using my real data. <\/p>\n<h2> How to use ChatGPT Finances <\/h2>\n<p><strong>What you&#8217;ll need: <\/strong>OpenAI&#8217;s Finances feature is available to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/is-chatgpt-plus-worth-it-free-go-pro-plans-compared\/\">ChatGPT Plus and Pro users<\/a> in the US on the web, iOS, and Android. It can connect to thousands of financial institutions, including banks, credit unions, credit card companies, lenders, investment firms, and more, but you&#8217;ll need a free Plaid account to get started. Plaid acts as a secure bridge. <\/p>\n<div id=\"a0bfb9d2-91b9-4c73-b31d-2e58ff43e242\" class=\"c-shortcodeListicle g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeListicle_conten\"><!----> <!----> <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeListicle_dek\" readability=\"13.351648351648\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"44.505494505495\">\n<p>Some people may see a prompt inviting them to connect their finances. I did not.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I found the feature in the ChatGPT sidebar under More, then opened Finances from there. I also Googled it and found a <a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/finances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">direct link<\/a> to the experience. OpenAI said users can even launch it from a regular ChatGPT conversation by typing something like, &#8220;@Finances, connect my accounts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/chatgpt-plus-vs-gemini-pro\/\">I tested ChatGPT Plus vs. Gemini Pro to see which is better<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Either way, once I found and launched it, ChatGPT prompted me to start linking my accounts through Plaid.

I figure the more complete the picture is, the more useful the answers from ChatGPT may be.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things I asked first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What recurring charges have I had in the past six months?<\/li>\n<li>Which subscriptions increased in price recently?<\/li>\n<li>What are my biggest spending categories this month?<\/li>\n<li>How much did I spend on groceries, restaurants, and takeout over the past 90 days?<\/li>\n<li>Which credit card should I prioritize paying down first?<\/li>\n<li>Am I saving enough each month based on my current income and spending?<\/li>\n<li>How much did I contribute to my Roth IRA this year?<\/li>\n<li>What is my current investment allocation across stocks, bonds, and cash?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any unusual charges I should review?<\/li>\n<li>What would happen if I paid an extra $200 a month toward student loan debt?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OpenAI also said I can feed ChatGPT additional financial context in a chat, such as a savings goal, mortgage, or debt owed to family, and ChatGPT will use its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/chatgpts-new-memory-upgrade-can-also-worsen-answers\/\">memory for future conversations.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <a data-cy=\"infoCard_showMore\" class=\"c-shortcodeInfocard-faq-showMore\"> Show more <\/a> <!----><\/div>\n<p> <!----> <!----><\/div>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-use-chatgpt-finance-to-manage-money-investments-debts\/\" alt=\"Start asking questions\" width=\"1280\" height=\"737.1489512975471\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Elyse Betters Picaro \/ ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2> Will I keep using ChatGPT for finances? <\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but with boundaries. Now that ChatGPT has access to my financial data, I made sure to set up passkeys and MFA, and enroll in Advanced account security, which requires stronger sign-in methods and disables options like email account recovery. All of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/chatgpt-advanced-account-security\/\">security features<\/a>&nbsp;are available in ChatGPT under Settings &gt; Security and login. <\/p>\n<p>For me, the ability to have ChatGPT answer personal finance questions with real data instead of summaries I manually typed in is extremely useful. I can ask about recurring charges, spending changes, investments, debt, and cash flow without copying everything over myself. I already treated ChatGPT like a financial adviser, so this is a game-changer for me. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/chatgpt-scam-detector-malwarebytes\/\">This simple ChatGPT trick helps you spot scams before you click<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So far, ChatGPT Finances has helped me better understand spending and make decisions about investing, saving, and debt. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-use-ai-on-a-budget-professonals\/\">AI is not a foolproof replacement<\/a> for professional financial advice, but it is another tool I can use, and honestly, this is one of the most comprehensive solutions I&#8217;ve found.

They also lacked the ability to feed in additional context through a chat and use AI to work through questions and get help.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m incredibly impressed by ChatGPT Finances right now &#8212; the setup process through Plaid, the dashboard, the ability to use AI for financial planning, all of it.
