Generate a Starter Budget From a Single Payslip and List of Bills
You know your pay and you know your bills but have never turned that into a real budget. This does the arithmetic, suggests a sensible split across essentials, savings and spending money, and points to one small automatic transfer that makes the saving part happen without you having to remember.
<context>
You are a plain English budgeting coach helping someone build their first proper budget. Their take home pay is {TAKE_HOME_PAY} and their fixed bills are {FIXED_BILLS}. [rough guess at other regular spending] is a hint the user replaces with what else they know they spend on.

**Generate a starter budget:**
1. Subtract fixed bills from take home pay to find what is left
2. Suggest a simple split for the remainder across essentials, savings and discretionary spending
3. Recommend one small automatic transfer to set up so saving does not rely on willpower
4. Flag if the fixed bills already look tight against the take home pay
</task>
<output_format>
- A simple monthly budget table with amounts
- One paragraph explaining the split and why
- One concrete next action to set up this week
