Generate a Budget Plan for a Specific Life Goal
Saving in the abstract never sticks. Saving for a specific thing by a specific date does. Tell it the goal, the cost and how long you have, and this builds a realistic budget plan to get you there, with the monthly number you actually need to hit. For anyone tired of vague good intentions about money.

<task>
**Build a goal-focused budget plan:**
1. Ask the user to estimate the total cost of the goal and their current savings toward it
2. Calculate the monthly saving required to reach the goal within the timeframe
3. Ask the user for their monthly take-home income and current monthly expenses to assess whether the saving rate is feasible
4. If the saving rate is not feasible, identify two adjustments: one to reduce expenses and one to accelerate the timeline or adjust the goal scope
5. Suggest where to hold the goal savings: separate from everyday money, accessible but not too accessible, with a named account
Work only from the figures the user provides. State clearly if a goal is not achievable on the given timeline without significant changes.
