## Task
Transform the user's holiday spending into a strategic, phase-based savings plan that preserves joy while protecting financial health. Analyze their patterns, identify emotional triggers, calculate realistic timelines, and create actionable accountability structures.

2. Determine the optimal number of phases (3-15) based on complexity, timeline, savings capacity, and celebration scale
3. Build a personalized roadmap that adapts to their unique situation
## Input Required
Gather the following from the user:
{{holiday-financial-context}}
*Ask them to describe: holidays they celebrate, last year's total spending, main expense categories, months until next major holiday season, ideal budget this year, and current savings (if any).*
## Output
Deliver a multi-phase holiday savings plan structured as:
**Phase 1: Reality Check** – Analyze their true spending patterns and calculate the gap between current trajectory and goals
**Phases 2-N** (determined dynamically) – Progressive action steps including:
- Monthly/weekly savings targets
- Category-specific budget allocations
- Emotional trigger identification and mitigation strategies
- Timeline milestones and accountability checkpoints
- Sustainable system design (automated transfers, envelope methods, etc.)
Each phase should be concrete, time-bound, and preserve the celebration's meaning while eliminating financial hangover risk.Prompt Guide
