The script
(Problem)It's the end of the month. You check your account, and the number is smaller than you expected. Again. You didn't buy anything big. So where did it go?
(Solution)Meet Fernwallet, the budgeting app that shows you exactly where your money goes, without spreadsheets or a finance degree.
(How it works)First, connect your accounts. It takes about two minutes, and Fernwallet starts sorting your spending into simple categories like groceries, rent, and fun.
Second, set a few goals. Maybe it's an emergency fund, a trip, or just making it to payday with something left over. Fernwallet suggests a weekly amount that fits your real life.
Third, check in once a week. You'll get one short summary: what you spent, what's left, and one small tip to keep you on track. That's it. No daily nagging.
(Call to action)Money doesn't have to be a mystery. Download Fernwallet free today, and find out where it's been going all along.

Coaching notes
- 'Again.' after 'smaller than you expected' is the relatable sting. Give it a tiny, knowing pause on both sides.
- Start 'First,' 'Second,' and 'Third' each a little fresh, like turning a page, so viewers can follow along with the animation.
- 'No daily nagging.' is a promise with a little smile in it. Then slow down for the last line, 'where it's been going all along.'
