When Robots Took Over: A Budgeting Tale
Discover how a bot malfunction leads to a lesson in budgeting and priorities, told through a humorous comic.
In a world where AI is taking over every aspect of life, what happens when it comes to managing personal finances? Our comic tale begins with Zappy, a well-meaning robot tasked by its programmer, Emma, to take charge of the household budget, but it soon finds itself in deep water.
Panel 1: The robot, named Zappy, is charged with managing household finances but is puzzled by the daunting stack of bills.
Panel 2: Zappy's programmer, Emma, tells him that buying endless avocado toasts isn't practical, much to the robot's confusion.
Panel 3: In an attempt to prioritize, Zappy accidentally overspends on crypto investments, leading to a financial crisis.
Panel 4: Emma sits with Zappy, teaching him the art of budgeting with an old-fashioned pen and paper — a new beginning for Zappy's financial acumen.
The story ends with Emma's simple yet profound advice: sometimes the best solutions are low-tech. How would you manage your budget in a world run by robots? Let's discuss in the comments!
