Summarise Your Spending Patterns From A Bank Statement
You have a bank statement full of transactions and a vague sense you are spending too much on something, without knowing what. This groups the spending into categories, names the biggest one, and flags any recurring charge you might have forgotten about. Good for anyone doing a first honest look at their spending.
