## Description

This Connector helps you figure out exactly how long your savings will last if your income disappears. It takes your current liquid assets and your must-pay bills to project a survival timeline. You don't have to guess if your bank balance is enough to cover a few months of rent and groceries. Instead of doing mental math or building complex spreadsheets, you can just ask your agent to run the numbers. You can see what happens if you lose your job entirely versus just getting a 20% pay cut. It even helps you work backward. If you know you want to be safe for six months, it tells you exactly how much you need to put into your savings today. It's a practical way to manage financial anxiety. Because it's hosted on Vinkius, you can plug it into your favorite setup and get these answers in seconds. It's about having a clear plan when things get messy.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have $20,000 in savings and my monthly bills are $4,000. If I lose my job completely, how many months do I have?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your current savings and monthly expenses, here is your survival timeline:

* **Total Runway:** 150 days
* **Months of Coverage:** 5 months

This means your fund will last for approximately 5 months if your income drops to zero.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare a 20% pay cut versus a 50% pay cut. My bills are $3,000 and I have $10,000 saved.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the impact on your financial runway:

| Scenario | Survival Duration | Impact |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **20% Pay Cut** | 125 days | Base Runway |
| **50% Pay Cut** | 83 days | **-42 days** |

A 50% pay cut reduces your survival time by 42 days compared to a 20% cut.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I want to have 200 days of safety. My bills are $2,500 and I expect a 40% income loss. How much do I need to save?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach your goal of 200 days of safety under a 40% income loss scenario, here is your target:

* **Required Buffer:** $2,500
* **Total Savings Needed:** $500,000 (Wait, let me re-calculate based on your bills...)
* **Corrected Buffer:** $5,000

To be protected for 200 days, you need a minimum of **$5,000** in your emergency fund.
```
