Inspiration

Young women of this age often lack the awareness of budgeting resources of like our project. As well, they don't take the step that leads to real change which is making the necessary changes to improve their financial choices. As this is an issue we face daily we thought it would important for the user to not only know where there money is going, but to understand the trends of where their money often ends up.

How we built it

We used HTML to build two pages. The first is a form where the user enters various data such as their income, age, spendings etc. Then we used flask in order to input the user input to the second page which displays the user's budgeting plan. Flask allowed us to manipulate the URL to contain this data. With which we built a python program to compute the calculations that the web app displays.

Challenges we ran into

We divided each page up initially, however we realized that this would not work for the local host used for the report page did not give permission to another computer to access the URL.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building an effective UI for the home page. We are also proud of the computations we were able to do in python as well as learning flask for the first time.

What we learned

We learned how to use flask to efficiently collect data. We learned how to use HTML and CSS to create a dynamic website.

What's next for Budget Buddy

The future for Budget Buddy would be to have access to banking data of our users. This will eventually allow for the automation of the user data information form. Additionally, Budget Buddy would integrate into online banking systems allowing for more effective allocation of funds.
