My project is called Intentionally Budgeting. By creating a simple calculator to say how much spending budget one will have based on monthly income, living expenses, and savings and investment. By asking users to think about those values, intentionally budgeting helps create intention behind information, which when combined with a budget can increase financial literacy. The website also includes educational resources about making a budget.
An explanation from the about.html What is Intentionally Budgeting The Intentionally Budgeting Calculator is a tool designed to create intention for budgeting, by prompting users to find information they may not know off the top of their head. This makes users think about how much they need to spend, creating more financial self-awareness. Combined with resources about making a budget using that information, Intentionally Budgeting aims to help people become more financially literate. Why is this Helpful According to a survey by Intuit Mint 65 percent of Americans said they don't know how much they spent last month. Additionally, that survey found that 31% of those who do know how much they spend regret how much they spent. The survey also found that 62% of people who have a budget felt more confident about money. By creating more financial self-awareness, Intentionally budgeting hopes to help people feel more confident and make better spending decisions.
