Financial tools are getting smarter — but many still miss the most important variable: real life. In this interview, Frances Rahaim explains why AI, calculators, and generic financial advice often get money wrong — not because the math is bad, but because the assumptions are incomplete.

• How rigid models ignore timing, cash flow, and lived experience
