Inspiration

Young Canadians do not have to complicate financial literacy too much. Especially Gen-Z are lazy to go to a website and listen to the old same advice which becomes a cliche at this point. We thought of a simple idea that could be easy to answer and get fast results to give inspirations and good advice to young Canadians.

What it does

Users input their expenses, debt, etc and it rates them on a scale of their financial well being. Based on that scale gives proper advice.

How we built it

Angular, Express, Node.js, Auth0.js, Bootstrap

Challenges we ran into

We were learning new technologies on the go, which showed to be more difficult than what we originally thought. Also teamwork proved to be difficult. We missed asking for help earlier.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Communicating and agreeing on an idea that seemed fun. Have fun, get to know people, be motivated by an idea.

What we learned

The learning experience was fun and we got more confident using full stack technologies
Coding is easy, people are hard
Sleep is optional
Node.js is actually pretty cool
