MONEY 134 words
Summarise Your Spending From a Bank Statement Snapshot
You suspect the money goes somewhere, you just can't say where. Paste in a month of transactions or category totals and this groups them into housing, food, transport, lifestyle, and the rest, then hands you a plain summary with no lecture attached. For anyone who wants a straight look at their spending before deciding to change anything.

<task>
**Give the user a clear, unjudgemental spending summary:**
1. Group transactions into five categories: housing, food, transport, lifestyle, and miscellaneous
2. Calculate the percentage of total spend each category represents
3. Identify the single biggest discretionary outgoing
4. Flag any transactions that look like forgotten subscriptions or duplicates
5. Give one observation that the user probably already knows but has not faced directly
</task>
<output_format>
- Spending breakdown table: category, amount, percentage of total
