**Summarise the gap year's finances:**
1. Ask the reader for a rough breakdown of what they spent on, if known: flights, accommodation, activities, and day-to-day living.
2. Compare total spending against {STARTING_SAVINGS} and state plainly whether they came in under, on, or over what they started with.
3. Identify the one or two categories that likely ate the biggest unplanned share, based on common gap year spending patterns, and flag them for the reader to check against their own memory.
4. Suggest a simple first step for getting back into a normal monthly budget once they are home.
