  Can I Be Rich

Inspiration

I created this project because:

• Financial anxiety is common
  Many people stress about money, feel insecure about wealth gaps, or wonder if they'll ever be financially secure.
  
• Personal finance feels overwhelming
  Terms like investing, budgeting, and debt management intimidate beginners. Most avoid learning due to complexity.
  
• Gamification breaks barriers
  Turning money lessons into a game makes learning accessible and less scary. It helps users start small.
  

What it does

This experience tests real-world money skills through quick challenges:

• Teaches practical finance
  Covers budgeting, saving, and smart investing
  
• Game-style rules
  
  • Get 3 chances to prove your knowledge
    
  • Beat the clock (30 seconds per challenge)
    
  • Earn extra points for win streaks
    
• Track your growth
  Climb wealth levels from "Broke Beginner" to "Financial Guru"
  
• Makes finance engaging
  Turns money concepts into bite-sized challenges
  

How we built it

We built this with Bolt AI using a single prompt.

Challenges we ran into

Though built in one prompt, it required multiple test iterations. The complexity caused Bolt AI to hallucinate during development. We overcame this by:

• Starting with big ideas
  
• Testing multiple approaches
  
• Refining and scoping down concepts
  

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As a mobile developer with no web experience, I:

• Expanded my skills into web development and design
  
• Learned to build and deploy web apps from scratch
  
• Experimented with conversational AI and voice AI (not in final product)
  
• Became familiar with domain hosting and Netlify
  
• Created an educational yet entertaining game
  

What we learned

• Technical skills: Web development basics through hands-on experience
  
• Design insight: Gamification makes dry topics (like finance) engaging
  
• User feedback: People enjoy self-deprecating humor in learning tools
  
• Implementation: How to add game mechanics (lives, timers) to web apps
  

What's next for Can I Be Rich?

• Add conversational and voice AI for richer interactions
  
• Expand questions/categories (real estate, crypto, etc.)
  
• Develop multiplayer challenge mode
  
• Create personalized learning paths based on results
  
• Build a mobile app version
