Computer Science and software development focus on addressing real-world issues. Financial management can be challenging and this inspired the idea of having a program that can help users maintain their finances and prepare for retirement.
What it does
The program takes the user's income, savings, years until retirement, annual spending, and additional expenses and tells the user if they seem financially prepared for retirement after performing calculations.
How we built it
I coded the program in C++ and implemented object-oriented programming while organizing the various functions into a class.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges I ran into include how to start structuring my code and how to build off of it. For instance, I implemented a class in order to organize the different functionalities of the program better.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Accomplishments that I am proud of include making the programming simple for the user.
What we learned
I learned about the various ways in which I can structure my code in an effort to build software that is more time and space efficient.
What's next for Retirement Project
The next steps for this project could be introducing various other technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning that could compute and analyze the user's financial management and suggest ways to prepare for retirement.
