Isn't ChatGPT very popular lately?
I searched casually, and the Internet was full of screenshots of chatting with ChatGPT.
For example, someone asks a question about love.
Questions about poetry were asked.
Some weird questions were also asked.
All kinds and endlessly.
Although many people find it full of errors, it can indeed provide some assistance to a fast search engine to a certain extent.
After reading these questions and answers, I was preparing to keep accounts, and I couldn't help but open my ChatGPT and asked some questions about bookkeeping.
Will it get the job done? The answer was a bit unexpected.
1. The Q&A is smooth
To test its reliability, I first asked this question:
Do you know "bookkeeping"?
After a long 10-second wait, I finally received a decent answer, not bad, the basic concept was in place.
Then I started asking precise questions.
Q1: It's March soon, what should I do if I want to make a monthly budget?
The answers included the basic steps of budgeting, which are very different from what I usually do, and individual steps that I haven't even done before.
For example, "summarize expenses" and "readjust your budget", I basically did the first 4 steps and went straight to the bookkeeping process.
In contrast, it is rarely summarized in advance, assuming that it is necessary and it is OK to have no savings (although this has hardly happened).
After a period of bookkeeping, the budget will not be adjusted temporarily, and will be carried out according to the existing budget.
These steps are quite refreshing to me.
Q2: If I spend $25 today, how do I keep my bill?
The answer is also very satisfactory, but we need to manually calculate the balance in step 5.
Question 3: What if I want to see how much money was spent in total this month?
The answer is to let me open my own ledger and count myself, haha, the logic is quite smooth.
Question 4: If I ask you to help me keep the books, can you do it?
Yes, yes, but it is still recommended to use specialized financial management software or APP for management.
Well, deep in my heart.
After asking this question, in fact, I know that ChatGPT is more suitable for a search engine for checking information and asking questions, and does not have practical tool conditions for the time being.
In the matter of how to keep accounts, it is better to use professional financial software or APP.
2. Software APP bookkeeping
As a veteran who has been using the app for more than 6 years, my experience is still very profound.
I used the god-elephant cloud ledger, which was very convenient to use and met the practical requirements of all the questions I just asked.
For example, question 1, make a personal monthly budget, click "Budget" directly in the bookkeeping, you can plan according to your own accounting classification.
After the budget is completed, the actual expenditure of each category can also generate a progress bar, which always reminds you of the current income and expenditure situation, and creates a "sense of urgency" to spend money.
Next, let's look at question 2, assuming I spent 25 yuan today, how can I write down the book?
It's very simple, first determine the type of expenditure of $25.
If it's a lunch, then account for food snacks; If it is a daily necessity purchased, it is accounted for according to daily expenses, specifically classified by personal habits.
Click "Make a Record" on the handbook to add specific information about the expenditure, such as amount, category, time, photos, notes, etc., so that it is easy to see at a glance when querying later.
Finally, question 3, how to check how much money was spent in the month?
If you follow the advice of ChatGPT, you have to calculate the results yourself.
But on the handwriting, as long as you carefully take a note, you can automatically generate a statistical table, saving you the trouble of your own calculation.
I'm used to looking at the "Charts" section at the top of the homepage, where I can see both pie charts and bar charts.
This is also the basis for next month's budget.
Of course, now there is a new "report" function, which is also very convenient to view the statistics of income and expenses at the same time.
After this question, my biggest feeling is that although AI is close at hand, it is still in the early stages of development and can only meet the most basic needs.
Therefore, no matter what you do, "professional people do professional things", or find the more professional one so far.
What we can do is to make the most of things and learn endlessly!
