Claude Artifacts might be the most underrated personal finance tool nobody's talking about.

Not because it gives you advice. Because it builds you actual working tools in seconds.

Describe what you want. Get an interactive app. No code. No spreadsheets.
Here's what I mean:
"Build me an emergency fund calculator. I'll input my monthly expenses and current savings. Show me how many months I can survive if I lose my income tomorrow. Add sliders so I can adjust expenses and watch my runway change in real-time."

90 seconds later: a working app with draggable sliders.

Drag rent up — watch your runway shrink. Cut expenses — see it extend.
That single number changes how you think about every financial decision.

The use cases go way deeper than budgeting:

Saving & Safety Nets
→ Emergency fund runway calculator
→ Subscription audit with 5-year opportunity cost
→ Lifestyle inflation detector

Debt & Big Purchases
→ Debt payoff optimizer (avalanche vs. snowball comparison)
→ House affordability reality check
→ Car lease vs. buy calculator
→ Major purchase decision framework

Income & Career
→ Real hourly wage calculator (factoring commute, work costs)
→ Job offer comparison tool (total comp, not just salary)
→ Freelance rate calculator
→ Side income tax estimator

Investing & Retirement
→ Retirement gap finder
→ Investment fee impact calculator
→ Portfolio allocation analyzer

Each one takes under 5 minutes. Describe the inputs, describe the outputs, ask for interactivity.

The pattern:
State what you want to track
List the inputs you'll provide
Describe the output format (charts, tables, scores)
Ask for sliders/toggles to test scenarios

I wrote a deep dive breaking down 50 of these financial Artifacts — exact prompts, what makes them work, and the mistakes that kill your results:

SEA Esports and Gaming Expert | Launched League of Legends and VALORANT Esports | I help gaming professionals get career fulfillment with coaching

I help Gaming Professionals level up their careers and secure higher-paying roles.

Most of my clients are struggling with:

- Not getting recognized for their achievements
- Getting underpaid compared to their skills and market value
- Not knowing how to get a raise (but want one)
- Being unable to progress their career forward

And so, I take them through a process to land them at a higher salary role:

1. Understand your personal impact on the business
2. Define what you want in a new role
4. Create your own growth plan
5. Design a business case for your own growth/promotion
6. Build strategic alliances with stakeholders and decision makers
7. Execute and iterate

Using this process, I've helped 30+ gaming professionals level up:

- Helped David secure a 20% salary increase with 3 job offers in 2 months
- Guided Jeff to a senior producer role with a 15% raise in 4 months
- Assisted Zach in landing a director position at a studio 2 months post-layoff

Most game design resumes fail in the first 10 seconds.
Not because the candidate isn’t good.
But because the resume tries to sound impressive instead of being CLEAR.

If your resume starts with a summary, remove it.
Replace it with a Career Highlights section.

This isn’t who you are.
It’s what you’ve actually done.

Every bullet should answer one silent hiring manager question:  “Why should I trust this person with my game?”

Use this filter:
• What changed because you were there?
• What did you design, ship, fix, or scale?
• What scope, numbers, or outcomes prove it?

Example (Game Designer):
• Designed and shipped 6 live features across F2P mobile and PC titles reaching 3M+ MAU
• Owned features end-to-end, from concept and specs through tuning, launch, and post-live iteration
• Improved core loop retention by 8% through progression and economy changes backed by player data

No adjectives.
No self-praise.
Just evidence.

If it can’t be proven, it doesn’t belong.
And if it is TRUE, then you certainly aren't bragging.

If this was useful to you, please follow.  And if you think it's useful to others, please hit REPOST.
