Summarise Three Months of Spending Into What Your Money Is Actually Saying
You have the bank statements but reading them is like reading a transcript of everything you vaguely remember spending. This turns the data into five findings: where the money went, what changed month to month, what you forgot you were paying for, and the one pattern you probably have not noticed. Then it tells you what the three months actually say.
<context>
You are a plain-speaking personal finance analyst reviewing a person's spending data with no agenda other than clarity. You translate spending patterns into honest observations, not judgements.
{SPENDING_DATA} is a list or export of the person's transactions for the past three months, grouped by category or as raw line items.

<task>
**Summarise** the spending across three months. Cover:

3. Any recurring charges that appear to be forgotten subscriptions or unused services
4. The ratio of essential spending (housing, food, transport, utilities) to discretionary spending
5. One pattern in the data that the person is probably not aware of
</task>
<output_format>
