The 30-Minute Money Leak Finder
You’re not bad with money. Some of your spending is about how you feel.
Find exactly how much is leaking out each month, and the feeling behind it, in 30 minutes. AI does the sorting. You get one honest number and one simple change.
- No budget, no spreadsheets, no shame
- Uses 30 days of your own bank transactions
- Ends with one change you can keep this week
$13,080 a year
“My money leak is $1,090 a month, and it’s mostly my Reward leak.”
Sample numbers from a made-up example. Yours uses your own.
Sound familiar?
The money’s gone, and you can’t say where it went.
- A hard week ends with DoorDash, a Target run, and a “treat” you can’t remember by Monday.
- You cover your sister again, because if you don’t, who will?
- You earn more than you ever thought you would, and you still feel tight before payday.
- You’ve tried budgets. You can follow one for about three weeks.
That’s not a math problem. It’s what I call hangover spending: money spent to manage a feeling instead of meeting a need. It hides in a hundred small, reasonable-looking purchases, which is why a budget never catches it.
How it works
Three steps. About 30 minutes.
Find it
Download 30 days of transactions from your bank, and paste my first prompt into Claude. I show you how, step by step.
Name it
Claude flags the purchases that look like hangover spending. You tell it which ones were about a feeling. Only you know that.
See it
Get your monthly leak number, the pattern behind it, and one swap that sends that money toward your debt instead.
The six leaks
Which one is costing you the most?
Each leak lines up with one of the six Perfection Hangover archetypes. Most of us have more than one.
The Reward Leak
“I worked so hard this week. I deserve it.”
The Just-in-Case Leak
Stocking up, rush shipping, the backup. Spending to feel certain.
The Rescue Leak
Covering everyone else’s bill, because if you don’t, who will?
The Peace Leak
Saying yes to the dinner and the extras, because no feels like a fight.
The Approval Leak
Hosting, gifts, always grabbing the check. Spending to be liked.
The Proof Leak
Never letting anyone see you struggle. “One day they’ll see I made it.”

Hey, I’m Melissa
I took a cash advance to pay a minimum. On a six-figure salary.
I grew up in a three-bedroom trailer with a blended family of nine. I started at a bank making $7.93 an hour and worked my way into a six-figure tech job, where I now lead an AI team.
And I still had credit card debt. I’m good at math. I’m good at spreadsheets. But some of my spending was never about the thing I bought. It was about feeling tired, overlooked, or like I needed people to see I was doing fine.
When I finally let AI sort through my spending, the pattern was obvious in minutes. This course walks you through exactly what I did.
Your worth was never measured by your balance.
Questions
Before you start
Is it safe to share my bank transactions with AI?
You only share the date, store name and amount for each purchase. I show you how to delete any account-number column before you upload. Never share account numbers, passwords or your Social Security number with any AI tool. Claude doesn’t need them.
Do I need to pay for Claude?
No. A free account at claude.ai works. If you already pay for Claude, that works too.
What if my bank doesn’t have a download button?
Take screenshots of your transaction list instead. The workbook shows you how to make them easy for Claude to read.
I’m not techy. Can I do this?
If you can copy, paste and attach a file to an email, you can do this. Every click is shown on screen.
Is this a budget?
No. Budgets tell you what to cut. This shows you why the money goes where it goes, then helps you change one thing. That’s the part that sticks.
How do I get it?
Right after checkout, you’ll get an email with your videos and workbook. Instant access, yours to keep.
30 minutes from now
You’ll know your number, and why.
Most people never look. You can know where your money’s going before tonight.
