Billy: Your Personal Financial Coach in Your Pocket ๐ฐ
The Problem We're Solving
Millions of Americans are trapped in a financial catch-22:
- ๐ Need good credit to get better loans and apartments
- ๐ซ Can't build credit without already having it
- ๐ธ Losing money every day on missed cashback and unnecessary fees
- ๐ฐ No idea which bills to prioritize
The Current "Solutions" Don't Work
- Banks: Just charge overdraft fees
- Financial advisors: $200+/hour (if you can afford one)
- Budget apps: Show pretty charts of how broke you are
What if you had a financial coach who actually helped you make better decisions in the moment?
