The prompt
If my income stopped tomorrow, how long would I last, and how big an emergency cushion makes sense for me? Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about my essential monthly costs, how steady my income is, who depends on me, what I could cut quickly, and what I already have set aside. Rough figures are fine. Then tell me my runway in months as it stands, a target range for my cushion with the reasoning, and a first milestone I could reach within three months. Say what you assumed and what would push the target higher or lower. Don’t recommend accounts or products for holding it.
