## Description

You can use this MCP to get a clear, mathematical view of your financial safety net. Instead of guessing how much cash you need, you can ask your AI client to run the numbers based on your actual monthly expenses and current savings. It calculates your current runway by dividing your cash by your monthly deficit. If you are planning for a major life change, you can use it to determine the exact amount of savings required to hit a specific number of months of safety. You can also test different versions of your budget to see how cutting an expense or finding a new income stream changes your timeline. It provides a qualitative status report so you know if your current situation is stable or critical. This turns vague financial anxiety into concrete data you can act on.
