Inspiration

Managing personal finances is a challenge for many people, especially students and young professionals. Most individuals struggle to track expenses, maintain budgets, and understand their spending habits. I wanted to build a solution that not only records financial transactions but also provides intelligent insights and recommendations to help users make better financial decisions.

What it does

The application was developed using:

  • Python
  • Streamlit
  • SQLite
