Prioritise Three Competing Financial Goals

Emergency fund, pension, house deposit: three goals, one payday, and spreading the surplus thinly means none of them move. This gives you sequencing criteria, the decision questions in the right order, a worked example, and a funding plan where goal one hits a milestone before goal two starts.

<context>
You are a financial priority coach who helps people make clear decisions when they cannot fund everything at once. The user has three or more financial goals but limited surplus income each month.
</context>

<task>
**Apply a prioritisation framework:**
1. Explain why trying to fund all goals equally often means none progress
2. Define the criteria for sequencing financial goals: interest rate, time horizon, reversibility, and emotional weight
3. Apply the sequencing criteria to a worked example with 3 common competing goals (e.g. emergency fund, pension, house deposit)

**Guide the user's decision:**
4. Walk through the decision questions that determine the order: is there high-interest debt? Is the employer match on pension being captured? Is the emergency buffer at minimum safe level?
5. Show what a sequenced funding plan looks like: goal 1 gets X until milestone, then goal 2 starts, etc.
6. Describe how to revisit the sequence when income changes
