How do I use AI to pay down debt?

Jennifer Allan asked ChatGPT for one money task every day. She paid off $12,078.93 of credit card debt in a month, much of it from a brokerage account she had forgotten.

Steps

  1. Tell the AI your total debt and ask for one concrete money task per day.
  2. Do the task, and report back what you found.
  3. Expect some ideas to be quirky. Keep the ones that turn up real money (old accounts, unused balances, subscriptions).
  4. Ask it to compare payoff strategies, but check interest rates and terms with your lender.
  5. For serious debt, talk to a nonprofit credit counselor.
