Workflow Steps
Expensify
Scan and categorize receipts
Use Expensify's mobile app to photograph receipts throughout the month. Set up automatic categorization rules for common expenses like groceries, dining, transportation, and entertainment.

Export monthly spending data
Create a monthly Zapier automation that exports your categorized expense data from Expensify to a Google Sheet, organizing totals by category and highlighting your biggest spending areas.
ChatGPT
Generate financial poetry summaries
At month-end, paste your spending summary into ChatGPT with this prompt: 'Write a humorous, reflective poem about my monthly spending. Include specific categories and amounts, but make it encouraging about my financial journey. Keep it light and motivational.'
Gmail
Email monthly money poems
Set up a monthly calendar reminder to email yourself (and optionally your partner) the expense poetry summary. This creates a unique, memorable way to review and discuss monthly spending habits.
