Spending too much money in college? Budget with Weekly Budget Bunny.

Inspiration

The financial struggles of college students are prominent in our lives. We wanted to create a website that was useful as well as entertaining to use. In brainstorming, we looked at different financial managers and discussed what we would want as college students. We also talked about how different features might make it more rewarding and interesting to come back to and finance better as a result. This is how we concluded on an animal to "take care of".

What it does

Our website track finances and subscriptions to make sure you are following through on your saving goals. When you reach a certain goal, maybe enough money to buy a car, your bunny gets a carrot! The total continues to update with the separate links and amounts you have spent.

How we built it

We used the WebDev101 workshop to start, since none of us has ever coded a website, and worked through problems using help from W3 and StackOverflow. Some of our group have a strong background in java so javascript was easy to pick up.

Challenges we ran into

We were all learning web development for the first time, so adapting on how to connect HTML, CSS, and JS was a challenge. Besides that, working on how to get everything to save was our biggest challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Everything. This was a great experience and a huge challenge, considering our lack of web development knowledge, so we are very proud of our final project and how we worked together as a team.

What we learned

We learned a lot about web development, CSS, HTML, and JS. Also, we learned to work on a team with different experience levels.

What's next for Weekly Budget Bunny

We want to expand the website to hold more information as well as follow clean design principles. We would also love to learn how to add a username and password. In future revisions, we could add choice in bunnies and prizes for goals.
