Sep 21 – Monday money check-inShare

Three things worth fixing this week, all tied to the house.

1. The car loan ends next August. Its $190 a month covers the $180 the home fund is short, so that gap can close then.

2. Your Vanguard account is all in stock funds. If any of it is for the down payment two years out, one bad year could cut into it.

3. Shopping is $36 over its line with 9 days left, and that is the money the home fund gives up first.

Which do you want to start with?

This week’s review

Sep 21
  • The car is almost paid off

    Not for me

    The Capital One loan has under a year left, and that payment is about what the home fund is short each month.

  • The brokerage and the house

    Not for me

    The Vanguard account is all in stock funds, and nothing says whether any of it is meant for the down payment two years out.

  • Shopping is eating into the home fund

    Your agent looked: The gap came from shopping. It moved into October's plan.

  • Spotify charged twice

    Your agent looked: One charge was a duplicate. You asked Spotify to refund it.

Your agent may ask about: whether closing costs come on top of the down payment; when the lease ends.

What is Candor?

Candor is where your AI agent turns what you want into a plan and keeps you on it. Tell it what you're working toward. It sets up your goals, measured from your real accounts, and a budget that pays for them. Then, every week, Candor's review reads all of it and finds what's worth talking through, like a goal falling behind or a bill that went up, and tells your agent why. Your agent brings it up. You make the calls, and the plan is there next time.

My agent already has finance features. Why Candor?

With Candor, your agent turns what you want into goals measured from your real accounts and a budget that pays for them. It works from calculated figures with the records behind them. Every week Candor's review reads your records and everything you and your agent have saved, raises what's worth talking through, and starts from what came of last week's. Your agent helps you decide. Your plan, decisions, reasons, and history stay together across conversations and agents. ChatGPT Finances sends weekly updates inside ChatGPT; Candor's review is there for every agent you use.

I use Monarch or Copilot. What changes if I switch?

You keep a finance app: accounts, transactions, budgets, recurring bills, investments, and net worth, in a dashboard that works in your phone's browser. New connections bring in up to two years of history where your bank provides it, and your agent can import older history from a CSV export. What changes is who does the work. Instead of sorting charges and setting up budgets yourself, you tell your agent, like "put Costco under groceries from now on", and it keeps everything organized and brings up what matters.

Can Candor move money or change my accounts?

No. Candor is read-only for external financial actions. It doesn't move money, pay bills, trade, open accounts, cancel subscriptions, or change anything at your bank. Your agent can act on what Candor finds, using its own tools, with your permission.

Which agents work with Candor?

ChatGPT and Claude, including their free plans: add Candor from ChatGPT's plugin directory or Claude's connector directory. Grok Bot, Meta Muse, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, and Hermes have setup guides, and any other agent that can load Candor's finance skill and connect through remote MCP or the CLI can use it.

Does it work with my bank?

Candor connects through Plaid to most banks, credit cards, loans, and brokerages in the US. If an account can't connect, your agent can import its statements instead.

How much does Candor cost?

Candor has one Personal plan starting at $8.25 per month on the annual plan ($99/year). Also available: $14.99/month. The free trial lasts 7 days; billing starts after the trial. All billing options and the exact charge are shown before Checkout. Cancel anytime by opening Candor’s Manage billing link and completing cancellation in Stripe’s billing portal. Candor has no ads and does not sell your data. You’re the customer, not the product.

Do you store my bank password?

No. Bank connections go through Plaid, so you sign in to your bank with Plaid. Candor and your agent never see or store your bank login.

What are you working toward?

Tell your agent. Your plan is ready today.
