ChatGPT Offers Strategies for Debt Repayment and Zero-Based BudgetingPreviousNext

Two Mint articles explore personal finance strategies using ChatGPT. One outlines a three-part plan to become debt-free by December 2027, focusing on selling stocks, managing expenses, and adjusting SIP contributions amid existing loans and monthly outflows. The other discusses implementing zero-based budgeting to assign every rupee a purpose, addressing idle cash and low investment ratios within a household earning about ₹96,700 monthly. Both emphasize tailored, realistic financial planning to improve cash flow and debt management.
