Boost Your Finances with AI: Use ChatGPT to Analyze Any Screenshot (Yes, Even Your 401(k)!)

What if your next money move could start with just a screenshot? 

📸 Snap a pic of your credit report, 401(k) balance, or even your monthly spending summary, and drop it into ChatGPT. It can instantly analyze the image, explain what it means, and suggest ways to save, invest smarter, or raise your credit score—all in plain English.

🧠 How Screenshot Analysis with AI Works

No spreadsheets. No copy-paste. Just upload a screenshot to ChatGPT (on desktop or mobile). Its vision model will scan, summarize, and provide personalized feedback—whether it’s about your 401(k) allocation, credit health, or spending patterns.

Why We Ditched GoDaddy (and What Moms Should Know About DNS, Hosting, and Financial Control in 2025)

By AI Mom Lab, a smart gal
Why We Ditched GoDaddy (and What Moms Should Know About DNS, Hosting, and Financial Control in 2025) At The AI Mom Lab , I'm all about using smart tech to make life easier and more financially empowered — and that includes how we build and host our websites. This year, I decided to ditch GoDaddy’s default DNS setup. Why? Because their limitations were slowing us down — and in some cases, costing us money and stability. If you're building digital income streams or launching a content site, here's why it's time to rethink how (and where) your domain lives. 🚫 The GoDaddy Problem I registered our domain aimomlab.com through GoDaddy, thinking it would be a straightforward experience. But when tried to connect it to our Google Blogger site , I hit wall after wall: They only allowed 1 A record (Blogger needs 4 for stability) They tried to upsell us on Premium DNS ($50/year) The site broke every time we tried to configure it correctly Support gave con...

By AI Mom Lab, a smart gal
✈️ Avoid Southwest Baggage Fees with AI: Smart Travel Hacks You Haven’t Tried Spoiler: Southwest is one of the rare airlines that actually gives you two free checked bags — but if you’re flying internationally, with a codeshare, or lugging oddly shaped gear, those fees can still sneak in.
